Car Airbags: Car manufacturing companies in India are constantly focusing on safety to keep people safe in road accidents. In this sequence, the number of airbags in cars is also being continuously increased by the companies. Why are airbags necessary in a car and how do they protect after an accident. Let’s know.
What is an airbag
According to its name, an airbag is a bag filled with air. Under normal circumstances, this safety feature does not work. But if an accident occurs with a car, then this safety feature gets activated for the safety of the passengers and works to save the lives of the car riders. It is made of very strong fabric.
How is safety provided
Usually airbags are installed on the dashboard and steering wheel of the car. Along with this, some sensors are installed in the front and back of the car. If an accident occurs with a car, then the sensors installed in the car activate the airbag and it opens in a very short time. It opens in such a short time that the car rider can be saved from serious injury.
Create a wall of protection
After the airbags are activated, they create a wall of protection between the passenger and the car, which prevents the passenger’s head, chest from hitting the steering or any other part of the car and thus saves lives.
Airbags are also dangerous
Airbags are useful in saving the lives of passengers during an accident, but in some cases, due to negligence, they can also be very dangerous. Some people keep things on the dashboard of their car and some people sit with their feet on it. Along with this, some people stay very close to the steering while driving the car. In such a situation, if an accident occurs, then instead of getting protection from the airbag, the risk of getting more serious injuries increases.
