If it remained inflated then you would have difficulty getting out.
A deflated ziploc bag should hit first due to less air resistance. If it was not for air resistance they would hit at the same time
It decreases the impulse of force.
the air bag is further inflated
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.
Funny, I hadn't noticed that before. But if they appear inflated, it is because they are bagged and sealed on the ground, probably pretty close to sea level. However, the cabins of airliners are pressurized to 8000 feet. So the air pressure outside the bag, being lower than the pressure inside the bag, causes the air inside to expand and inflate the bag.
so the air bag doesn't suffocate the person
At higher altitudes, the air pressure surrounding the bag of chips decreases while the air pressure inside the bag remains the same. This pressure difference causes the bag to expand and appear inflated like a balloon.
The air bag system needs service when the air bag light remains illuminated.
As the bag of balloon rises, the pressure inside the bag of balloon decreases. Air pressure generally decreases as the altitude increases.
Depends on size of bag.
