白薇秀車禍後發文報平安 稱事發時腦子一片空白

本地藝人白薇秀26日遭遇五車連環車禍，她今天（29日）上午在社交媒體發文感謝朋友和同事們的關心，表示自己並無大礙，但說在事發那刻腦子裡一片空白。

白薇秀通過Instagram對朋友和同事在她遭遇意外後給予她的關心、安慰和支持表達深深的謝意。她寫道：「我要藉此機會告訴大家我沒事，除了頸部和背部疼痛之外，並沒有皮外傷。」

但她透露，當她從車子的後視鏡看到肇事德士沖向自己的那一刻，她的腦子一片空白，並慶幸所駕駛的豐田Harrier轎車經得起現實生活中的安全測試。

據白薇秀描述，她的丈夫戚玉武多年前也遇到類似的事故，臉部還因為汽車的安全氣囊彈出來而割傷了。她說，她在廣州的大伯看到這次車禍的照片，發現安全氣囊沒有打開，質疑是否車子有問題。

白薇秀指出，這實際上是一種常見的誤解。有很多例子是因為安全氣囊彈出來，導致駕車人士和乘客受的傷，比受到撞擊本身更嚴重。

她表示，慕娘摩哆（Borneo Motors）的團隊投入了豐田智行安全（Toyota Safety Sense，即豐田規避碰撞輔助套裝）技術，以確保汽車只會在撞擊力超過汽車的撞擊區域時，安全氣囊才會彈出。換句話說，只有當汽車被撞到對司機和乘客有高死亡風險之際，安全氣囊才會迅速打開。

白薇秀說，她的情況是，預碰撞安全系統（PCS）被啟動，車子緩衝了大部分撞擊力來保護她，她才免於被安全氣囊「擊中」。安全氣囊彈出來的力度，很容易造成骨折和臉部割傷。

她寫道，在過去，汽車大多配備了被動安全技術——在碰撞後才啟動功能去保護司機和乘客。豐田智行安全則發揮更積極的作用，提供預碰撞警告觸發器、防抱死制動系統（ABS）和車道偏離警示系統（LDA）。

白薇秀也表示經過這次意外，她對豐田汽車更有信心。

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
