Airbag Technology
Airbag technology is a safety feature in vehicles designed to protect occupants during a collision. When a crash occurs, sensors detect the impact and trigger the airbag to inflate rapidly, creating a cushion that absorbs energy and reduces the risk of injury. Airbags are typically located in the steering wheel, dashboard, and side panels.
There are different types of airbags, including frontal airbags, side airbags, and curtain airbags. Each type serves a specific purpose, providing protection for various parts of the body. The effectiveness of airbag technology is enhanced when used in conjunction with seat belts, which help keep passengers securely in place during an accident.
