The Main Goal of Airbags Is To
The main goal of airbags is to buy your body time. They convert a deadly, instant stop into a longer, survivable one. They turn a concrete wall into a memory foam mattress (sort of).
Next time you get in a car, give a little nod to the airbag hidden in your steering wheel. It’s just chilling there, waiting for the one moment in its entire life where it gets to do something important.
And honestly, that’s a pretty chill, noble goal. Stay safe out there.
