Welcome to Crash

* Half million people are killed every year in the traffic accidents!!!

Thank god, we haveSeat belts Frontal airbags Side impact airbags Anti-whiplash seat

Seat Belt System


Reduces risk of fatal accidents by 45% Rib and abdominal injuries may be suffered, especially if the seat belt is not correctly positioned. Types

Two point seat belt Three point seat belt

Height adjusters
Improve the seat belts' protective effect by achieving correct belt geometry. Increase the ease and the comfort of use for car occupants of above or below average height.

Buckle
Must withstand forces of at least two tons. must be easy to open even when heavily loaded.

Retractor
Two locking sensors that work independently. Vehicle sensor detects sudden deceleration of the vehicle. Webbing sensor detects violent pull-outs of webbing from the retractor.

Pretensioners
Restrains an occupant as early as possible in a crash. Reduce the load on the occupant in a violent crash. Tighten the belt during the very first fractions. Reduce the risk of "submarining.

Frontal air bags


Reduce the fatalities in head-on collisions by 25-30%.

How does an airbag work? (Contd)


In a frontal impact of sufficient severity (comparable to a collision into a solid wall at 10-14 MPH or above), sensors in the vehicle detect the sudden deceleration and trigger the inflator module. This causes the solid chemical propellant sealed inside the inflator, principally sodium azide, to undergo a rapid chemical reaction. This reaction produces primarily nitrogen gas, the same gas that makes up 80 percent of the air we breathe. The gas inflates a woven nylon bag packed inside the steering wheel hub or the instrument panel for the front seat passenger. The bag inflates in less than one-twentieth of a second, splitting open its protective cover, and inflating in front of the occupant. As the occupant contacts the bag, the nitrogen gas is vented through openings in the back of the bag, which helps to cushion forward movement.

Side impact airbag


Side-impact collisions account for a quarter of all injuries to car occupants. Account for more than one third of the serious and fatal injuries.

Anti-whiplash seat
( To save from rear impact) Yieldable backrest. Back is tilted in a controlled way. Absorbs energy. Reduce the forward rebound of the occupant.
