an electrical signal up to the airbag and it deploys
there is no max speed for airbag deployment there is a minimum speed but that speed depends on make of car and airbag
The crash, by far. Almost nobody has been killed by the deployment of an airbag, but a crash has caused the deaths of probably millions of people.
no protection
Airbag deployment can happen at any speed. It's not about the speed, but rather the impact that the car feels to deploy the bags.
Airbag deployment is a physical change. It involves the rapid release of gas (usually from a chemical reaction) that inflates the airbag, without changing the chemical composition of the materials involved.
Drivers should ideally be seated at least 10 inches away from the airbag deployment zone to ensure safety during deployment. This distance helps minimize the risk of injury from the airbag's rapid inflation. Properly adjusting the seat and using seat belts contributes to maintaining this safe distance while ensuring effective airbag protection.
In the proper type of collision, the airbag could go off if you are sitting still.
The force of the collision has to be great enough
I don't think they have a maximum, only a minimum.
no protection
The front airbag deployment sequence required by law generally involves the airbags being designed to deploy in a specific order based on the severity and type of collision. Typically, the driver's airbag deploys first, followed by the passenger airbag, in frontal impacts. The deployment is triggered by sensors that detect the force of the impact and the position of the occupants. Compliance with these standards is mandated by safety regulations to ensure maximum protection for vehicle occupants.
There is an airbag assy on the steering wheel and one on the dashboard on passenger side. they are assy. that get replaced.
