Airbags, among other functions, protect against...
A)the submarine effect.
B)eye injuries.
C)cervical injuries and impacts against elements inside the vehicle.Correct
The purpose of the airbag is to prevent the driver and passengers from impacting against the vehicle's components, absorbing the kinetic energy of the bodies that collide with it, gently slowing their movement.
The submarine effect is one of the greatest risks caused by improper use of the seatbelt. This effect occurs when the seatbelt is unable to restrain the driver during an accident and their body slides under the abdominal strap. To prevent it:
- Do not place anything on the seat (towels, cushions, covers, etc.)
- Adjust the seat and the seatbelt (do not recline the seat excessively or drive in a reclined position)
