AirBags.. Small explosives allow them to "blow" open and inflate the bag. Tiz why you get burned from the bags.

Small explosives?!?! WTF??

I thought it was from the gases that airbags let out when they go...

Hmm... :o

I thought it was like a gun powder(explosive charge) or wat have you. But apparentlly it's gases

Quote: The air bag's inflation system reacts sodium azide (NaN3) with potassium nitrate (KNO3) to produce nitrogen gas. Hot blasts of the nitrogen inflate the air bag
