Airbags also have their unsafe side. According to calculations, if the car travels at a speed of 60km/h, a sudden impact will stop the vehicle within 0.2 seconds, and the airbag will be deployed at a speed of about 300km/h, and the resulting impact force will be about 180kg , which is difficult to bear for the more vulnerable parts of the human body such as the head and neck. Therefore, if the angle and strength of the airbag are slightly wrong, it may lead to a “tragedy”.
Airbags may deploy at very low vehicle speeds. When the car is in a collision at a very low speed, the occupants and the driver can fasten their seat belts, and there is no need for airbags to deploy for protection. If the airbag is deployed at this time, it will cause unnecessary waste, and may even aggravate the collision injury due to the deployment of the airbag.
Activation of the airbag can cause injury to the occupant. When the airbag system is activated, the airbag cover will be opened, and the airbag will be inflated in an instant, which is likely to cause shock to the occupants; the hot gas produced will also burn the occupants and drivers.
When the passenger deviates from the seat or there is no one or a child on the seat, the activation of the airbag system not only fails to provide due protection, but may also cause certain injuries to the passenger.
