@inventionontt: Airbags are designed to deploy incredibly fast because in a serious crash your body can slam forward in a fraction of a second. When the car’s sensors detect rapid deceleration, the airbag system triggers a small igniter that rapidly produces gas and fills the bag in roughly 20 to 50 milliseconds, depending on the vehicle and crash type. This is why an airbag doesn’t feel like a soft cushion during deployment, it hits you firmly as it expands outward. The airbag itself is made from tightly woven nylon fabric that is engineered to handle extreme forces and heat. The inflation process creates hot gas, and the fabric must withstand the sudden pressure without tearing. After it inflates, the bag immediately begins venting through small holes so it can absorb energy and cushion you, rather than staying rigid and bouncing you back. Even though airbags save lives, they can also cause injuries if you are too close to the steering wheel or not wearing a seatbelt. That is why airbags are designed to work with seatbelts, not replace them. The seatbelt restrains your body, and the airbag spreads the remaining impact across a larger area of your head and chest, reducing the chance of severe trauma.
