Question 5351
Which of the following is one of the main functions of the airbag in the event of an accident?
- Prevent the submarining effect.
- Prevent the steering column from striking the driver.
- Reduce the risk of facial injuries caused by glass fragments from the windshield.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduce the risk of facial injuries caused by glass fragments from the windshield.
One of its functions is to reduce injuries to your face and eyes from windshield glass fragments because the airbag forms a barrier between you and the glass. It also keeps you from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard and slows the movement of your head. In the image, the windshield is broken and the front airbags have deployed.
