Airbags are passive safety devices that are designed to protect vehicle occupants in the event of a collision. They work in conjunction with seat belts to reduce the risk of injury during a crash. Here is a basic overview of how airbags work:

1. Sensors detect a collision: When a vehicle collides with an object, sensors located in the front of the vehicle detect the impact.

2. Signal is sent to the airbag module: The sensors send a signal to the airbag module, which is a computer that controls the airbag system.

3. Airbag is deployed: The airbag module activates an igniter, which generates a small explosion that rapidly inflates the airbag.

4. Airbag cushions the impact: The airbag inflates within a fraction of a second and cushions the impact of the occupant's head and chest as they come into contact with the dashboard or steering wheel.

5. Airbag deflates: Once the airbag has deployed, it begins to deflate as the gas inside it is released through small vents in the bag's fabric.

It's important to note that airbags are designed to work in conjunction with seat belts, and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts are the primary safety device in a vehicle, and help to prevent occupants from being thrown forward and hitting the dashboard or other objects inside the vehicle. And our company, Oasis Bags is best for manufacturing air bags to consider peoples safetyness.
