What do you mean by air bags?
Every moving object, for instance a car, moving with speed of 40km per hour has got a tendency to keep moving in the same speed and direction unless any external force is not applied to it. It is also called as inertia. The car and also the people sitting inside attain the same speed as that of the car and finally move as one object. The inertia attained by the car and that of the occupants is different. If the car hits any tree, the tree would exert some force on the speed of the car and finally will bring the car to a halt. However, the occupants in the car will hit the steering wheel or the other things in front of them in the car, as they have an independent inertia. The force that is exerted by the windshield or the steering wheel on which the people will bang in return may give harmful injuries to the occupants. Thus, the cars are inbuilt with two different fetter systems, which help to stop the occupants while giving them maximum possible security. The air bags are the most recent development in the system, which is used as a supplement to the seat belt just by developing a quickly inflating cushion between the space available in the passenger and steering wheel. This prevents dangerous injuries, during an accident. One of the most popular company producing air bags is Firestone. Firestone air bags is used for many different cars. People chouce Firestone cose their air bags one of the most secure and reliable in the USA market. There are three parts in the air bags:
- The bag is made of a very thin nylon fiber which is fitted into the steering wheel and the dashboard or recently, between the door and the seat.
- There is a device like sensor which tells the bag to open. This inflation takes place only when there is a collision of equal force to that of the speed of the moving car. These sensors are able to detect the collision with help of mechanical switch which closes when there is a shift in mass and an electrical contact takes place.
- Rapid pulses are used by the inflating systems of the air bags.
This inflation system is mostly like a solid rocket. After the collision, the bag actually bursts out from the place where it is stored at a speed which is even faster than a blinking of eye.

Air bags in the future:
The engineers believe that the designing of the effective side air bags is far more difficult than designing the simple front side air bags. They are designing the new air bags to protect the head which literally looks like a sausage and also is designed as it will remain inflated for about five seconds so that it can protect for the possible second and the third collision also.
Safety facts about air bags:
The vehicles having passenger air bags should never be placed on the front seat. Air bags may affect a rear-facing child in death or any serious injuries. If at all a child is sitting in front seat, then make sure that the child is well secured with seat belts and also is sitting at the back of the seat all the time.
