The purpose of the airbag is to provide occupant protection and restraint during a crash event. The introduction of the air bags dates back to 11th

Airbags are safety features that are designed to save passengers from harm in a head-on collision. Airbags react within milliseconds of a crash, and the folded nylon bag quickly becomes inflated with nitrogen gas. The inflated airbag has the role of being a cushion for passengers and prevents them from hitting into the steering column and dashboard, which can cause painful injuries for passengers. Airbags were invented by John Hetrick in 1953 after Hetrick, his wife and young daughter got

Contributions with the field of biomechanics along with advancements in technology have led to improvements in the general and public safety pertaining to motor vehicles. Air bags have reduced mortality rates in motor vehicle accidents significantly throughout the years. Air bags have undergone development for many years, first being introduced in the 1960’s with the release of the first commercial air bag in the 1980’s appearing in motor vehicles. Air bags have been a subject of research and tests

belts as part of the vehicle’s standard design. Takata found success in the new industry, which led the firm to expand into airbags as well as child safety restraint systems. With its strategic decision to enter the automobile safety industry Takata was reaping the benefits. The firm commanded a major portion of the airbag market, eventually becoming one of the top three airbag manufacturers in the automotive industry. However, despite the company’s early contributions to automobile safety, recent

Even though it will not protect from total injury or death, it is helpful by doing the duty of cushioning the passengers. Like seatbelt does, airbags decrease the impact that passengers receive directly and also reduce the force by spreading it over wide areas. For other parts in the air bag, there is Crash Sensor that is in the car to sensor the force receives when car accident happens and the
