SAFETY DURING
Chevrolet and General Motors have a long history of supporting occupant safety. A pioneer of occupant safety testing within the automotive industry, GM’s contributions include the development of “Sophisticated Sam,” a dummy with breakable bones and a forerunner of the type used in current test dummies — and, later, the first child air bag dummy. GM also developed the first active front-seat head restraint system designed to reduce the risk of neck injury in rear impacts, offered the first mass-produced air bag, and introduced the industry’s first side-impact air bags designed to reduce the risk of inflation-induced injuries to children.
