Which is why they should be avoided if you have smaller children. I also didn't realize the NHTSA doesn't regulate them.

"While side air bags are smaller than front air bags, they must deploy very rapidly. Close proximity of a child's head, neck or chest to a side air bag may cause serious injury. Therefore, it is important never to lean up against or rest against a side air bag. Seat belts (or child restraints as appropriate) should always be worn to avoid possible injury by keeping enough distance between the occupant and the side air bag module."

My wife has the family vehicle that we take on trips so our kids are only in my car for short commutes. I'm not worried about it in my case.
