Safety Cell
A "Safety Cell" is a protective structure designed to enhance the safety of occupants in vehicles, particularly in the event of a crash. It is typically made from strong materials that can absorb and distribute impact forces, minimizing injury to passengers. The design often includes reinforced areas around critical components, such as the passenger compartment and crumple zones, which help to manage the energy generated during a collision.
In modern vehicles, the Safety Cell is integrated with various safety features, including airbags and seat belts, to provide comprehensive protection. This system works together to create a secure environment, ensuring that the vehicle's occupants are safeguarded against potential harm during accidents. The effectiveness of a Safety Cell is a key factor in vehicle safety ratings and assessments.
