Explanation

The airbag inflates and deflates in thousandths of a second when there is an impact, protecting the vehicle's occupants from the forces of deceleration and stopping the body from hitting the inside of the vehicle. There are various types of airbag; the most common are the front airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags, and roof or curtain airbags.
