In the case of a severe frontal or near frontal crash, sensors in the car trigger the inflator module causing causing the air bag to inflate. The air bag inflates in less than l/20th of a second. As the driver comes in contact contact with the bag a harmless nitrogen gas is vented out through openings in the bag, thus helping to cushion the impact. The whole inflation/deflation inflation/deflation cycle happens in the time it takes to blink your eye, and in most cases the bag will not obstruct visibility. The bag can very quickly and easily be pushed down and out of the way. Air bags save lives because in the case of a frontal or near frontal frontal collision the vehicle begins to stop when the impact occurs, but the occupants continue to move forward. If the occupant is not wearing wearing a seat belt, they will be stopped by the windshield, the instrument panel or the steering wheel. If they are wearing a seat belt they are stopped gradually as the car stops. Air bags save lives! For more information I can. be reached at Cowan Pontiac- Buick 905-623-3396.
