Which of the following is one of the main functions of the airbag in the event of an accident?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **airbag** is a passive safety device in vehicles that inflates in the event of an accident. Its main function is to **protect passengers** from serious injuries. One of the ways it does this is by **reducing the risk of facial injuries** caused by glass fragments from the windshield. When inflated, the airbag acts as a cushion that slows down the abrupt movement of the body and prevents people from violently hitting parts of the vehicle, such as the windshield, which could break and release dangerous fragments.
Additionally, it is important to always use the **seat belt** so that the impact against the airbag is lessened and to maintain an adequate distance from the steering wheel to avoid injuries when the front airbag inflates.
