An air bag decreases the time of impact. An easy way to explain it is the physics equation F=MA, Force=Mass X Acceleration. When an airbag deploys it increases the time of impact which in turn lowers the force that is inflicted upon the driver. A seatbelt alone will not do that. This is why even with airbags people involved in a traffic accident often break ribs, or have substantial bruising on their chest from the seatbelt. The airbag is what keeps them from experiencing even more substantial injuries.

The readings will differ because the weight of the air inside the bag is being added to the weight of the bag itself. This additional weight from the air will cause the total weight of the bag filled with air to be greater than the weight of the empty bag.
How much does a bag half full of air weigh how about full?
The weight of a bag half full of air would depend on the size and material of the bag, but it would be very light. A bag filled with air would also be very light, as air has a low density. The weight of the air itself would be negligible compared to the weight of the bag.
