白薇秀车祸后发文报平安 称事发时脑子一片空白

本地艺人白薇秀26日遭遇五车连环车祸，她今天（29日）上午在社交媒体发文感谢朋友和同事们的关心，表示自己并无大碍，但说在事发那刻脑子里一片空白。

白薇秀通过Instagram对朋友和同事在她遭遇意外后给予她的关心、安慰和支持表达深深的谢意。她写道：“我要借此机会告诉大家我没事，除了颈部和背部疼痛之外，并没有皮外伤。”

但她透露，当她从车子的后视镜看到肇事德士冲向自己的那一刻，她的脑子一片空白，并庆幸所驾驶的丰田Harrier轿车经得起现实生活中的安全测试。

据白薇秀描述，她的丈夫戚玉武多年前也遇到类似的事故，脸部还因为汽车的安全气囊弹出来而割伤了。她说，她在广州的大伯看到这次车祸的照片，发现安全气囊没有打开，质疑是否车子有问题。

白薇秀指出，这实际上是一种常见的误解。有很多例子是因为安全气囊弹出来，导致驾车人士和乘客受的伤，比受到撞击本身更严重。

她表示，慕娘摩哆（Borneo Motors）的团队投入了丰田智行安全（Toyota Safety Sense，即丰田规避碰撞辅助套装）技术，以确保汽车只会在撞击力超过汽车的撞击区域时，安全气囊才会弹出。换句话说，只有当汽车被撞到对司机和乘客有高死亡风险之际，安全气囊才会迅速打开。

白薇秀说，她的情况是，预碰撞安全系统（PCS）被启动，车子缓冲了大部分撞击力来保护她，她才免于被安全气囊“击中”。安全气囊弹出来的力度，很容易造成骨折和脸部割伤。

她写道，在过去，汽车大多配备了被动安全技术——在碰撞后才启动功能去保护司机和乘客。丰田智行安全则发挥更积极的作用，提供预碰撞警告触发器、防抱死制动系统（ABS）和车道偏离警示系统（LDA）。

白薇秀也表示经过这次意外，她对丰田汽车更有信心。

I am deeply thankful for the concern, comfort and support offered by friends and colleagues after the accident. I want to take this opportunity to share that I am well, no superficial injuries except for neck and back pain.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Some of you may recall my husband involved in a similar accident years ago — his face suffering cuts as a result of the deployment of the airbag upon collision. When my brother-in-law from Guangzhou saw the pictures of the collision, he noticed the air bags were not deployed and asked if there was something wrong with the car. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ There is nothing wrong, in fact this is a common misconception. There have been many instances where the deployment of airbags have caused drivers and passengers more injuries than from the collision itself. The team from Borneo Motors have invested in the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) technology that ensures that the car only deploys the airbags when the impact exceeds the crumple zone of the car. In other words, only when the car is crushed to a point where there is high risk of fatality to driver and passengers, that the airbags will be quickly deployed. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In my case, the pre-collision system kicked in and my Harrier had protected me by cushioning most of the impact which was why I had avoided being “punched” by the air bags. The breaking force from the airbag could easily have caused broken ribs and facial cuts.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In the past cars are mostly equipped with passive safety technology - features that are activated after collision happens to protect the driver and passengers. The Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) plays a more active role by providing pre-collision warning triggers, automated braking and lane departure alert (LDA).⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ My mind went blank the moment I saw the taxi coming at me from the rear view mirror, but I am glad the Harrier stood up to the real-life safety test. I am definitely more confident in Toyota after this and in case you would like to find out more about TSS you can check out https://www.toyota.com/safety-sense/ @toyotasingapore
