WhAT equation most directly illustrates the safety value of automobile airbags?
Simplified: Crash. (No Airbag.) Get Crushed by the Seatbelt and items. Crash. (Airbag.) Protected from items and bashing your head. Advanced: I don't have the time. Sorry. But I'll edit when I do.
Does The risk for teens to experience a car crash increases with each additional passenger?
Yes because In the decade of 2000-2009, 27 percent of the victims in crashes involving 15 to 20 year old drivers were riding as passengers with a young driver. The chances a 16-year-old will die in a crash increase39 percent with one teen passenger,86 percent with two teen passengers, and182 percent with three or more teen passengers.
What is more likely to happen - a bus crash or a plane crash?
There are many more buses than passenger airplanes, so even though buses can be safer per passenger mile, there are more bus crashes. You WAY more likely to be in a bus crash, then in a plane crash. thousands, and thousands of car/automobile's crash every year. And only about a few hundred plane's crash a year.
Are you more likely to die in a car crash or plane crash?
Today as the roads are more crowded it is in a car that is more likely.

Why do airbags protect you in a crash?
They absorb energy to reduce injuries.
Speed air bag to deploy in front collision 2007 Hyundai?
Frontal Airbags will deploy at at least a 55 mph crash or more.
Why do airbags in cars reduce the chances of injury in accidents?
Airbags prevent excessive forward movement in a front-end crash, therefore, reducing injuries.
Do airbags protect you in a car crash?
yes airbags protect you in a car crash
How has the airbag change over time?
Airbags have evolved from simple frontal airbags to multi-stage airbags that deploy based on crash severity. They are now designed to reduce the risk of injury by adjusting deployment force and expanding in stages to cushion occupants. Advanced systems also utilize sensors to detect factors like passenger weight, position, and seat belt usage for improved protection.
Anyone have a problem with airbags not deploying in an accident in 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 this is in frontal crash?
we had a crash at 45 mph, we t-boned some one in our 2004 dodge ram 1500 and ours didn't deploy
What speed does and air bag open when hitting another car?
Airbags are designed to deploy only when they might be needed to prevent serious injury. In order for airbags to be effective they must deploy early in a crash; in a frontal crash this typically occurs within the first 50 milliseconds (0.05 seconds). A vehicle's airbag control module relies on feedback from crash sensors to predict whether an event is severe enough to warrant an airbag deployment.Frontal airbags: Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal crashes. Among airbags with advanced features that include a safety belt sensor, there are different inflation thresholds depending on whether people are using their safety belts. One threshold used by airbag designers is "must deploy" which includes a situation such as an impact into a rigid wall of 10-12 mph for unbelted occupants. The "must deploy" threshold is slightly higher - about 16 mph - for belted occupants because the belts alone are likely to provide adequate protection up to these moderate speeds. Frontal airbags may deploy to help protect occupants in side impacts if there is sufficient forward deceleration during the crash. For example, if a vehicle is moving forward at the time of a side impact, frontal airbags can help prevent serious injuries.Advanced airbags compliant with government crash performance standards have been required in all passenger vehicles effective with model year 2007. Advanced airbags are designed to suppress deployment if weight sensors in the seat detect that a front-seat passenger is small or in a child safety seat. Advanced airbags also can deploy at a lower energy level or pressure when passengers are small or out of position, or if the crash is of very low severity.Side airbags: Because of the small space between an occupant and the side of the vehicle, side airbags must deploy very quickly to cushion occupants from intruding vehicles or objects. Some airbags typically deploy within the first 10-20 milliseconds of a side crash. "Must deploy" thresholds can be as low as 8 mph for narrow object crashes (e.g., trees and poles) and 18 mph for the more distributed side crashes (vehicle-to-vehicle crashes). Several auto manufacturers deploy the side airbags in frontal crashes to help control occupant movement during the rebound phase of a crash. Some curtain side airbags may stay inflated longer to protect occupants in rollover crashes. Allowing the airbags to remain inflated or triggering their deployment during a rollover can help prevent full or partial ejection of occupants.Curtorsey: Institute for Highway Safety
What speed do airbags deploy when you hit a truck for 1997 Mercury Tracer?
The force of the crash must be high enough for the crash sensors to inflate the airbags ( SRS )
Child car seats reduce death by how much percent?
This really depends on the condition you are in the crash. Either way its something you should do, a car seat is better because there is less room for a child to bounce around in a smaller seat. And your child will be safe from side airbags.
How do airbags trigger in a car crash?
Impact sensors
Do the airbags deploy if hit from behind?
No , not unless you crash into something in front of you afterwards with enough force for the airbags to inflate
Why are airbags important?
airbags are important because if you get in to a crash you can die without an airbag and its also used for cushion when it happens
