9.3.1 Description of airbags
Airbags are components of the passive safety system.
This system has saved hundreds of human lives. The essence of this system is to smoothly stop the body, which, we can say, flies towards the front of the car in case of frontal collision.
Note
Let's make a reservation at the very beginning: the maximum effect when the airbag deploys can be achieved only in case if the driver is fastened with seat belts.
Initially, there was only one airbag - for the driver. It was located in the steering wheel hub (it's right in the center). But over time, the number of airbags reached seven in order to prevent the negative effects of the collision.
