Frontal airbags are safety devices installed in vehicles designed to protect occupants during a collision. They deploy rapidly from the steering wheel and dashboard when sensors detect a crash, cushioning the impact and reducing the risk of injury to the head and chest. These airbags are typically made of nylon and inflate within milliseconds of a collision. They work best when used in conjunction with seat belts, as they help to keep passengers in the safest position during an accident. Regular maintenance and proper use of seat belts are essential for maximizing the effectiveness of frontal airbags.
