Correct answer
Cushion occupants’ impact and reduce injuries.
Cushion occupants’ impact and reduce the risk or severity of injuries in a collision where it operates. It supplements rather than replaces the seat belt; wearing the belt and sitting correctly matter. It does not guarantee preventing every contact with the interior or every injury, and not every airbag activates in every crash: this depends on impact type and system. Its purpose is not protecting vehicle trim or eliminating fright.
