Answer:
Airbags are designed to protect the driver in the event of a crash by rapidly inflating to provide a cushioning barrier between the driver and the steering wheel, dashboard, or other hard surfaces in the vehicle. When an airbag deploys, it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of the driver's forward motion, reducing the force with which the driver's body hits the interior of the car. This can help prevent or reduce the severity of injuries, particularly to the head, neck, and chest. However, airbags deploy with considerable force and speed, so there is a risk of injury from the airbag itself, such as abrasions, burns, or fractures, especially if the driver is not properly positioned or if there are other objects between the driver and the airbag.
