Below is more information about airbags: Working principle of airbags: When the vehicle experiences a certain level of collision force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to a small explosive detonation. The hidden airbags inside the car inflate and deploy instantly, positioning themselves between the occupants and the vehicle's interior components before impact. When the occupant comes into contact with the airbag, the airbag begins to deflate through the vent holes on its surface, thereby cushioning the impact and reducing the force exerted on the body, ultimately minimizing occupant injuries. History of airbag development: The airbag was first proposed by Hetrick in August 1953, who obtained a U.S. patent for the "automobile safety cushion assembly." With the establishment of vehicle safety standards in various countries, the installation rate of airbags has significantly increased. In Europe, the U.S., Japan, and other countries, the installation rate of airbags in vehicles has reached nearly 100%.
