airbags inflate within milliseconds to
form a safety cushion for the driver and
front passenger3. The forward movement
of the front seat occupants is checked,
thereby substantially reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head.
No impairment of view will occur, because
the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly
that it is often not even noticed in an
accident.
