Abstract
Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In the Haddon matrix, crashes are divided into three phases and factors affecting each phase. In the context of this matrix, the effectiveness, use, and legislation of safety belts and airbags are discussed, using process, injury, and economic outcome measures.Keywords
