Car airbags are safety devices designed to protect passengers during collisions. They are part of a vehicle's Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and work in conjunction with seat belts to reduce the risk of injury.
How They Work: Sensors Detect Impact: Airbag systems are equipped with sensors that detect rapid deceleration or collision forces. Inflation: If a collision meets certain thresholds, the sensors trigger an inflator. A chemical reaction rapidly generates gas (often nitrogen or argon), inflating the airbag in milliseconds. Cushioning Effect: The airbag, made of a durable nylon or polyester fabric, cushions and distributes the force of impact across a larger area, reducing injury to the head, neck, and torso. Deflation: After deploying, the airbag deflates quickly through vents, preventing suffocation or secondary injuries. Types of Airbags: Frontal Airbags: Positioned in the steering wheel and dashboard to protect the driver and front passenger. Side Airbags: Located in the sides of seats or doors to protect the chest and abdomen during side-impact collisions. Curtain Airbags: Deploy from the ceiling to shield occupants' heads in side-impact or rollover accidents. Knee Airbags: Protect the lower body, reducing injuries to the legs and knees. Rear Passenger Airbags: Provide protection for backseat passengers. Airbags significantly improve crash survival rates, but they are most effective when passengers are wearing seat belts and seated properly.
