Airbags react and are fully deployed before you impact them. Compared to seat belts, they have a much greater surface area which spreads the force making it much safer. There is also some give in airbags which means they bring the passenger to a stop much gentler then a seatbelt can.

How do Airbags keep us safe?

Airbags enhance safety in vehicles by providing a cushion that rapidly inflates during a collision, reducing the risk of injury to passengers. They absorb impact energy and prevent occupants from striking hard surfaces inside the vehicle. By deploying at the right moment, airbags help mitigate the force of a crash, thereby lowering the likelihood of severe injuries. Their effectiveness is maximized when used in conjunction with seat belts, which keep occupants securely in place.
