Airbags have been around for a long time. They have a fascinating history in manufacturing, statistical information and safety measures. Various theories have been formulated about them, in the sense that they were formulated for different reasons. People use them daily and they are now very popular. Airbags are a great life saver. Airbags have been around since a smart man, John Hetrick, was in a family car accident. He thought of the idea of ​​an airbag and got the first patent in 1953.

(NHTSA via SaferCar) Airbags have come a long way since they were first made. Most cars now have more than one. Manufacturing is a very advanced process for upgraded airbags. But before being assembled they must be made. Airbags have 4 main steps until completion, the first step is the creation of the propellant, the next is the assembly of the inflator, thirdly the airbag canvas is produced, a... half of the paper.. ..../index?qid =20080705172751AA3KZh0>."Frequently asked questions about the ON-OFF switch."
