Impulse gives the impact on the body. Impulse is measured by the change in momentum. And rate of change of momentum is force which causes harm on the body. So as we extend the time duration for any change in momentum force is terribly reduced and hence no severe impact. Hence safe journey with a air bag behind the driver.
