Airbag
Definition
A passive safety device integrated into the structure of modern motor vehicles, consisting of a flexible inflatable nylon fabric cushion, microscopic impact sensors, and a pyrotechnic gas generator. Upon a violent collision, the system triggers an ultra-fast chemical reaction that inflates the air bag in just a few milliseconds, providing a structural cushioning barrier between the passengers' bodies and the rigid elements of the cabin, massively reducing the risk of severe trauma.
