Is the Car Totaled After the Airbags Deploy?

[MacJoanna]

After the airbags deploy, they will be rendered inoperable, but the car itself is not necessarily totaled. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%. The airbag system mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and an electronic control unit. In domestically produced mid-to-low-end cars, the standard configuration includes 1 to 2 airbags, located in the driver and front passenger positions respectively.
