Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) prevent wheels from locking up during braking, which can help to reduce injury in several ways:
* Shorter stopping distances: ABS brakes can reduce the time to come to a stop, which can help to reduce the forces felt in a collision and decrease likelihood of a crash altogether.
* Improved control: ABS brakes allow drivers to maintain control of their vehicle even under heavy braking, which can help to avoid accidents and reduce the likelihood of injury in a crash.
* Reduced skidding: ABS brakes prevent wheels from locking up, which can help to keep a vehicle from skidding. Skidding can increase the risk of a crash and can also make it difficult for drivers to control their vehicle.
* Increased stability: ABS brakes help to keep a vehicle from losing traction, which can increase stability and reduce the risk of a rollover. Rollover crashes are more likely to result in serious injury or death than other types of accidents.
Overall, ABS brakes can help to reduce the risk of accidents and the severity of injuries in the event of a crash.
