  -> That would be because we were working on our answers! And thanks a lot.
agree  Cilian O'Tuama: I've heard of e.g. knee-impact or head-impact zones, so maybe this would be suitable, despite 0 googles

  -> Thankyou. 0 Googles - really! Impact zones are all areas that one could be thrown against in an accident - seat belts help prevent this happening. Years ago, people were often "speared" on their steering wheels, or decapitated by windscreens. Messy!

Explanation:
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/crashtest/car/162/


In a side-on collision with a motorbike, the risk to car passengers sitting closest to the impact zone should not be underestimated.

The protective effect [of the airbag] is obtained by keeping the occupant away from the impact zone, and dampening the blow from the intruding side of the vehicle.
