When someone driving a car is involved in an accident there are a few things that protect them. The first thing is the car itself. The car is a shell protecting the operator. Much of cars today has a considerable amount of plastic and aluminum but under the decorative cover are steel bars surrounding the occupants. Airbags are now required in all vehicles adding an additional cushion in the event of a collision. Seatbelts with shoulder harness have been required for many years which holds the driver in the seat. .
