Chemical Reaction Behind Airbags

According to Association for Safe International Road Travel, nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. If we, unfortunately, can't avoid a car crash, how can we at least prevent grave impacts of the accident? AIRBAGS!
Welcome to another episode of HOT: Science Edition, which we will be focusing on the chemical reaction in airbags. Airbags function when there is an abnormal position of the car and most especially when there is a sudden impact. They prolong the collision between the car's occupant's head & upper body and the vehicle's interior which leads to lesser damages to the people.
