Is Airbag Deployment Considered a Major Accident?
1 Answers
Airbag deployment is considered a major accident, as airbags do not deploy unless the accident is severe. Experiments show that for the main steering wheel airbag to deploy, a collision must occur within a 60-degree frontal angle at a speed of at least 50 km/h, generating a deceleration force exceeding 40g to trigger the airbag properly. Introduction to airbags: 1. Airbags mainly consist of sensors, the airbag itself, and an electronic control unit. 2. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In a car collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%.
