When ever there is a collision , the airbags , open just before the accident.In this case , airbags take less than a second to open as it is guided by a sensor which instructs airbags to open.

The airbags system on receiving the command activates the inflate mechanism.

The inflate mechanism on impact mixes with Sodium Azide (NaN₃) and produces Nitrogen Gas and this gas gets filled in to the airbag.
