How air bags deploy in a car by Chrysler spokesman
Chrysler spokesman Lindsay Brooke outlines air bag operation from crash impact to deployment. Sensors detect frontal impact severity and fire the inflator, producing nitrogen gas and a dusting of corn starch or talcum powder. The bag inflates in under a twentieth of a second then deflates as the gas escapes, leaving a powdery residue and a brief scent of burnt propellant.
