Not exactly as the formula goes: Force = Mass X Acceleration

IOW both the speed you're traveling *&* the mass of the object you're riding in have an effect on how hard a hit you're gonna take when you meet the onrushing airbag after the impact (However the impact itself should partially absorb the kinetic energy of the car in motion as the car will do *some* crumpling before the bag goes off, not a lot, but some nonetheless)
