AIRBAGS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Airbags are passive safety features designed to mitigate or prevent injuries among drivers and passengers in the event of a crash.

As we already know that most fatal injuries are inflicted on the occupants when the human body strikes or bangs against the interiors of the car like against the steering wheel or the dashboard at the instance of crash.

In such a situation, airbags offer added protection to the most vulnerable parts of the human body like, the head, neck, and chest.

Airbags inflate much like a balloon in case of a crash/ severe impact and offer effective cushioning to the chest and head of the occupants, hence increasing the chances of their survival.

Why are Airbags Necessary?

Airbags have been designed and implemented in modern day cars, with the idea that they will minimise the impact that a person will experience during a collision.

 An airbag will aid in absorbing a shock without actually damaging the occupants of the vehicle.

 Without airbags, in the case of a crash, your impact will be not cushioned at all, and you would most likely hit a harder, much more devastating surface.

How Do Airbags Work?

Airbag deployment has saved thousands of lives through the years. But how exactly do they work?

Actually, air bags are inflated by the equivalent of a solid rocket booster. Sodium azide (NaN3) and potassium nitrate (KNO3) react very quickly to produce a large pulse of hot nitrogen gas.

This gas inflates the bag, which literally bursts out of the steering wheel or dashboard as it expands.

This process occurs so quickly that an airbag can be fully inflated within about 30 milliseconds.

One thing you should keep in mind is that, Air bags are supplemental protection and are designed to work best in combination with seat belts.
