airbag
Inflatable safety device
An airbag is a safety device in vehicles that inflates rapidly during a collision to cushion occupants and prevent them from striking hard surfaces.
Airbags deploy from the steering wheel, dashboard, doors, or seats when sensors detect sudden deceleration.
The airbag saved her life in the crash.
