Fact: Airbags deploy incredibly fast, at speeds of up to 200 MPH, and typically inflate within 40 milliseconds after a collision. They are designed to activate during moderate to severe crashes, generally when the impact speed is 8 to 14 MPH or higher, depending on the specific vehicle and airbag system. This rapid deployment helps cushion and protect occupants, reducing the risk of serious injury by distributing the force of impact over a larger area of the body.
