Popis:	The cause of the orbital blow-out fracture includes violence, sports (baseball and boxing, etc.), traffic accidents, falls, and so on. This fracture is usually the result of an object striking the eyeball with some force. We report herein on a very rare case of blow-out fracture caused by an airbag (SRS) deploying in a traffic accident, striking the driver in the face and resulting in the fracture. To investigate how an airbag can cause injury when it is deployed, both the mechanics of airbags and the associated wound mechanism were examined.
