Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the

The air bag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the air bag
inflates, it will generate heat,
produce smoke (this does not mean
that a fire is about to start) and
make a noise upon detonation. In a
situation where an air bag is
required, it must inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor,
superficial grazing to the skin.
