C1Difficulty 2/5

To improve the safety of occupants in the event of an accident, a device called an airbag has been fitted to vehicles. What does it consist of?

Correct answer

A bag that inflates in the event of a sufficiently intense deceleration of the vehicle.

The airbag is a passive safety feature, that is, one of those that prevent or minimise damage once the accident has already happened. It basically consists of a bag that inflates in the event of a collision to come between the hard parts of the vehicle and its occupants.
