Third issue: Passive restraint system controversy

 Passive restraints :
A passive restraint is any device, such as an air bag, that operates automatically to prevent you being thrown out of the seat of a vehicle if there is a crash. Passive
restraints such as air bags or automatic seat belts are required in all vehicles. Air bags are significantly more expensive than other passive restraint devices.

 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PASSIVE RESTRAINTS


IF WE COMPARE BETWEEN TWO PASSIVE RESTRAIN SUCH AS AIRBAGS VS AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS, AIRBAGS HOLD A MUCH HIGHER EFFECTIVE
RATE. AND THE REASON IS, AIRBAGS OPENS IMMEDIATELY WHEN ANY ACCIDENT OCCURS. BUT FOR AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS 30-40% TIMES BELTS
BECOME DISCOUNTED/ LOOSE AT THE MOMENT OF NEED WHICH CAN CREATE A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION FOR RIDER. MANY STUDIES SHOW
THAT, WHEN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AIRBAGS/ AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS GO DOWN. BUT FOR SMALL
ACCIDENTS AIRBAGS/AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS WORKS VERY WELL & SAVE A PERSON FROM GETTING LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. BUT FOR
SMALL ACCIDENTS AIRBAGS/AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS WORKS VERY WELL & SAVE A PERSON FROM GETTING LIFE THREATENING INJURIES.

 DESIRABILITY OF REDUCING FATALITIES 


• SIDE AIRBAGS OR SIMPLY AIRBAGS CAN SAVE DRIVERS LIFE IF CAR CRASHES.
• IF THIS AIRBAG CAN BE APPLICABLE FOR ALL KINDS OF VEHICLE THAN IT CAN SAVE MANY RIDERS LIFE SPECIALLY,
BIKE RIDERS. BECAUSE IN USA THERE ARE ABOUT 2000 FATAL BIKE ACCIDENTS EVERY YEAR. THAT’S WHY THIS
AIRBAG TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE APPLIED TO ALL KINDS OF VEHICLE.

UNETHICAL IN THE LIGHT OF:


HOBBES'S 8TH NATURAL LAW 

  BENTHAM THEORY
Managerial POV: 
    Safety
   Strength and inaccessibility

Outsiders POV: 
Maintain that air bag technology is adequate, affordable and lifesaving. 

Alternative Actions: 
meeting with all involved parties to discuss how to put it into effect in a peaceful manner
