Dear All
Here is some pertinent info regarding tragedy involving Cyrus Mistry and others yesterday. It is now known that Cyrus was sitting on the rear seat, and the two people that survived were sitting in front with seat belts on.
The other deceased person has been identified as Jahangir Binshah Pandole.
Those injured — identified as Anahita Pandole, a top doctor at Breach Candy Hospital (who was driving the car) and Darius Pandole, the MD & CEO of JM Financial Private Equity — have been shifted to a hospital.
The key learning is that Airbags are of no use if seat belt is not strapped....that is the first line of defence...Air bag is the second line of defence only if the first is complied with. If you do not lock sitting chair seat belt properly, Air bag will not open.
All cars have rear seat belts as per government regulation, but a very few of us use them ...... it is actually an illusion that the rear seats are safer.
During an unfortunate crash, the person behind is sometimes thrown at a force of 40G (40 times the gravity, which means the person weighing 80kgs will be like 3200kgs).
If the front passenger is wearing seat belt and rear passenger is not, during the time of crash the front passenger is likely to be severely injured or killed due to the rear passenger falling with a weight of an elephant.
Guys - we are paying for seat belts - why not use them and be safe.
Pl forward to your friends and loved ones, it can save lives. It is like importance of Helmet for pillion riders.
