How Does the Airbag Protect You in an Accident?
Airbags were put into cars to protect the drivers and passengers in a car accident. During an accident the airbag will stop the person from continuing the act of accelerating during the accident. The airbag placement on the wheel, dashboard or side impact near the windows, are there to fill the space between the car and the passenger.
During an accident, the person in the car will continue to accelerate and then immediately stop once there is a collision with another car. The airbag will help the driver and passenger in the vehicle to slow down accelerating at a safe speed. By slowing down a car in an accident, it prevents the deadly feeling of a sudden impact situation for the driver or passenger going through an accident event.
What Exactly Is in an Airbag?
Airbags are made up of thin nylon fabric of the bag, sensors to tell the airbag to deploy and open, and the chemicals of sodium azide (NAN3) and potassium nitrate (KNO3). This chemical reaction makes an explosion during an impact of a car accident. During a crash, the nitrogen gas, will inflate the air bag system when it explodes open. For this reason, you can say that airbags are like rockets. After the collision, the airbag will go back down in a few seconds, and be completely flat. This will allow you go then get out of the car safely, after a car crash has occurred.
