It doesn't. Your face will be less damaged hitting the airbag than if it hits the steering wheel.

How do you install a steering wheel on a 95 Corolla?
If the car has an airbag in the steering wheel then take it to a professional mechanic to have it done. If you try to do it yourself then it may come out and cause serious damage. Trust me.
What is the cause of damage of hull on a ship?

Why does a collision with an air bag cause less damage than a collision with a steering wheel?
WHen a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
Why would a high-speed collision between 2 cars cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same 2 cars?
During the high-speed collsision, the cars would cause more kinetic energy than with a low collision. It would cause damage because there is a greater amount of force exerted in the high-speed collision.
Explain why a high-speed collision might cause more damage to vehicles then a low- speed collision?
because the high speed collision has more energy that it is using when the damage is occuring love Shanika L. Jackson♥
Why a high speed collision may cause more damage to vehicles than a low speed collision?
More kinetic energy involved.
Explain why a high-speed collision may cause more damage to vehicles than a low-speed collision does?
More kinetic energy involved.
Why a high speed collision may cause more damage than a low speed collision?
At higher speeds, there is more kinetic energy involved.
Why is cushion materials used in collision?
By getting compressed, the cushioning material absorbs some of the energy of the collision. This leaves less force to cause injury or damage.
What damage can a power steering pump going out cause?
It'll be hard to steer a car. The steering wheel will be tough to steer.
How do you change the ignition lock cylinder on a 2000 Olds Alero?
If you haven't worked around an airbag before, don't. They are very sensitive and can explode, causing quite a bit of damage and possibly killing YOU. To work on the keyswitch you have to FIRST remove the airbag assembly and the steering wheel. Then you can get to the retaining assembly that holds the lock into place. It's a little different for each vehicle type, but basically it's simple once the airbag and steering wheel are removed. If you insist on removing the airbag you'll need a wheel puller to remove the steering wheel. It's not possible to adequately express the danger involved in messing with airbags if you aren't familiar with them. Just a tiny static discharge will cause it to explode.
What would cause the steering wheel to make a pop sound and then no longer turn the wheels and air bag light start to flash?
The symptoms that you are describing lead me to believe that you have a failed "clockspring". The clockspring is a mechanism that is attached behind the steering wheel. Its purpose is to provide electrical connection to the driver's airbag. Being that the steering wheel is a rotating object which houses the airbag, the clockspring is a sophisticated mechanism that maintains electrical connection regardless of the steering wheel's angle. If the clockspring were to break, it could cause the popping noise that you heard. Depending on the breakage that occurred, it could obstruct the turning of the steering wheel. Additionally, since the electrical contact to the airbag is now lost, the airbag warning light flashes to alert you to the malfunction.
