Safety has always been an important component of Chevrolet, which stretches the limits of technology to provide you with information and safety features specifically designed to help you avoid an accident.
In the late 1960s, all GM full size cars included a side-guard door beam - a high-strength, corrugated steel beam build horizontally inside each door to provide greater side-impact protection.
Today, a steel safety cage surrounds the entire passenger compartment of every Chevrolet.
Chevrolet and General Motors have a long history of supporting occupant safety. A pioneer of occupant safety testing within the automotive industry, GM’s contributions include the development of “Sophisticated Sam,” a dummy with breakable bones and a forerunner of the type used in current test dummies, and, later, the first
child air bag dummy. GM also developed the first active front-seat head
restraint system designed to reduce the risk of neck injury in rear impacts, offered the first mass-produced air bag, and introduced the industry’s first side-impact air bags designed to reduce the risk of inflation-induced injuries to children.
