Why is the front passenger seat the most dangerous in an accident?

The front passenger seat is often considered the most dangerous in an accident due to its proximity to the impact zone during a collision. In frontal crashes, the passenger is directly exposed to the force of the collision, and the risk of injury increases if airbags deploy improperly or if seatbelts are not worn correctly. Additionally, the lack of protective barriers, compared to rear seats, heightens the risk of severe injury. Finally, the front passenger may also be at risk from the driver’s movement during an accident, further contributing to potential harm.
