Automobile airbags have been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in the event of a vehicle crash1); however, new problems have been identified. Among these problems, direct injury from the airbag itself has become a serious concern2-4). This suggests that an airbag itself may not be safe. Burn injury from airbags accounts for about 7.8% of all injuries caused by vehicle crashes5). There are three types of burn injuries from airbags: Thermal, chemical, and frictional. Moreover, there are three subtypes within the category of thermal airbag burn, as identified by Tsunetuki in 20036). Herein, we review a case of an airbag burn and report a unique burn case on ‘an upper extremity’, including both thermal and frictional burns.
