The setup obviously took a lot of effort and really added to the value of the presentation. Thank you Carl and company for educating me! Munro Live is a gift!
I've got that 'just been educated' glow. Whilst I knew a lot of this, it really brought it all together better than I have seen anywhere else. A lot of these videos should be made part of engineering and design course curriculum content.
Great presentation. Thank you for emphasizing the criticality of seat belts in combination. The number of people who don't appear to comprehended this is scary. The other "scary" airbag scenario is the teenager with their feet up on the IP on a sunny day, with absolute disregard for the consequences.
I'm fairly sure it's a mixture of disregard, hubris, and just plain old ignorance. I've seen demonstrations of what happens to a passenger when they put their feet on the dash board or out the window and then have a crash. The airbag will break both legs and drive them into the chest. It is horrific and often results in the passenger becoming a paraplegic or dead.
Different but similar, with the sun visor angled towards occupants. Things that really need to have many optimal individual events to align for best results.
I'm so glad i subscribed to this channel. I am getting way more than what i bargained for in terms of education, and entertainment. Love these educational style videos with hybrid tear down components.
WOW! What a lesson in passenger and driver safety. I know this is just one part of a larger system but I also know I'm even more appreciative that these systems are now common place. Think how many lives have been saved by the engineers and manufacturers that make them and continue to refine them! Thanks Munro for showing this to us.
Really liked that topic. Especially that you pointed out the importance of the safety belt and its tensioner ensuring to hold the occupant closely in position for airbag deployment. Non-related to the airbags: As an added benefit a tightened belt will result in deceleration forces from the vehicle to the occupant to be transmitted earlier. The pretensioned belt then also allows for it to be released a little under peak load which results in less G-force on the occupants which in itself can be a huge benefit.
It's amazing the amount of engineering that goes into making airbags and placing them. They work perfectly each time as I found out when I had a accident at 60 mph and walked away with just a few scratches.
Well, not each time. I was at the scene of a bad accident and I mentioned to PD that the airbags did not deploy and the response I got was, "Yeah, sometimes they don't."
Thanks Carl! Great presentation showing how much effort has gone into making cars safer in an accident. Wear Your Seatbelt!!! The life you save may be your own!
Great Video and information. THANKS!! A Few years ago, I was involved in a side impact at my A pillar. My car then traveled 20-30 feet head-on into a concrete pole and tree. Due to the multiple secondary collisions all 14 (seat bolster, curtain, knee and passenger) air bags deployed in all three rows. I suffered no serious injury -- save whiplash. The system worked as designed. Then system collectively worked. Prior to this incident, I knew they were there but paid them little attention. Thanks again and to all those who design these "hopefully never needed" systems.
Whenever anyone gets into my car they have to have their selfbelt buckled before I will move the car. In my 20s and 30s people thought I was lame for that, but if you are a passenger in my vehicle, then your safety is my responsibility. Ill never understand people who let their kids crawl around in the car with no seat belts, or drive around with no seat belt on. Great overview Carl. Thank you.
It's just so easy to listen Carl explaining stuff. Nice reminder of how safety is important. When people are buying cars, especially used cars, usually they care about stuff like are windows electrically powered or is the A/C fully automatic or does it have parking sensors. At least in my country. Those are nice to haves but man do I feel much safer since I drive car with ESP.
Thanks for a great presentation. I already knew all of this, but seeing the side airbag deploy was an eye opener - while it provides great pelvic and abdominal protection, I was surprised that the upper chest was not covered. I assumed it would have extended upwards more. Thank you for this important education.
Great video about very precise engineering and design problems that we take for granted. Airbags and seatbelts must always work properly in a crash. That’s an incredibly high standard to meet.
I've been following automotive safety for many years. Much longer than the 5 star rating system of IIHS Top Pick. Before these rating my insurance company used to look at crash data and give a letter grade to vehicles. This might surprise a few people, but back in the 90s Ford accounted for approximately half of the A rated vehicles. Ford got as many a rating as all other manufacturers combines, and yes that included MB, Volvo and all of those other that claimed to be superior in safety. Ford does have a lot of models,, but that is still remarkable. At the same time GM accounted for more than half of all cars that received an F grade. Somewhere near half of all Fs where related to the S10 family of vehicles. When you have a poor design and then stick on 30 different nameplates is adds up. The Astro van was the only one that got an asterisk, stating that it was considers significantly worse than other vehicles that also received an F grade. Things have sure changed at Ford. Not as much at GM.
I think Chrysler and Nissan also tend to have pretty horrible scores in the past in general. I don’t like how GM still nickel and dime customers different level of AEB when it comes standard on some economy cars.
Ford had a lot of catching up to do in the 70's , 80's, 90's such as seat belts that would disembowel the occupants due to bean counter cost cutting making them too thin and narrow (rear seat belt in the Pinto comes to mind), transmissions that would slip into reverse when the engine was left idling (I personally got pinched while working in a market by a new LTD with this fault), brake/cruise control safety switches mounted under the master cylinder that were not resistant to brake fluid plus were not fused so if they came into contact with brake fluid they would short out/heat up/cause the cars to burst into flames (they really did not fix the root cause of the problem but installed a jumper with a fuse in it between the switch and wiring harness to make it "Safer" so if you have a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury from the 80's to early 2000's with Cruise Control that does not work it could be the safety switch has failed from brake fluid and the fuse inside that jumper has blown), heated seats that would set their occupants on fire, etc, etc and then instead of fixing the problem quickly would drag it out in court for years while fighting for the absolutely cheapest fix hoping to cut their losses with many of the vehicles already being in the junk yard by the time they could no longer stall things. Some of the "Improvements/Better Ideas" were forced on them if they wanted to continue selling cars. They were the first with a transmission/brake pedal interlock since they were going to be forced to stop using their own transmissions and have to purchase them from New Process (and others) until they could come up with a design that would not automatically shift into reverse and run you down in your garage or while loading groceries in front of the store (back then you drove up to the store and they brought things out to your car helping you put them in the trunk), etc, etc. Younger ones may not remember these things while older folks likely have forgotten what it was like when companies such as Ford would choose long drawn out litigation denying faults rather than just fessing up and fixing things. Financially it worked out better for them but it did come at a cost to the people harmed by those faults. Sandy might remember a time when employees who questioned things at a car manufacturer in the US might find themselves being readjusted by a special motivation and security team brandishing pick axe handles. Things have changed over the past 50/60 years. The good old days...
This presentation is so well done and informative for the general users that this should really be use when someone learn driving to understands the important of airbags and wearing seat belts. Well done 👍.
Safety is always #1! Some things that Tesla does to improve passive safety is detect not only weight on the seat but weight distribution. It can tell how you're sitting to properly deploy the airbags. More recently they implemented seatbelt pretensioning just before the collision using the advanced Vision system.
Tesla has also added a new center airbag on the Model Y (China built) a few months ago that protects two front occupents from slaming into each other. It's going to be rolled out to other Tesla models and regions.
Lol….. it’s the same thing with other manufacturers too! Other manufacturers even have seatbelts that and seats that hugs you when going into a corner for even more protection
Carl great presentation. I was hoping you might cover seat belt airbags too even though they are in limited use today. Additionally, it would be a good prequel to cover the development of seatbelts themselves and their proper use. I find most folks do not know how to correctly put on a seatbelt or even adjust a headrest to prevent whiplash.
Absolutely fantastic! My brother and I learned a lot and have a new appreciation for the work that goes into these systems! We also like the idea we're surrounded by explosives 😁
Yet another amazing video by my favorite, Carl! this guy should be a college profesor or something! Great explaning! He has broad coverage of the subject, excelent rythm, super clear and consice aclarations and emphasis frases, impecable use of props and demonstration materials, super interesting topic! Security and how that works and is build into the design of vehicules is on eof my favaorite subjects. Would love a collab video with Jason of Engeneering Explained! Would be epic!
One airbag not touched on here, probably because it's not common, is a seatbelt airbag. I'd be curious to learn your thoughts on that. Any cons besides added cost/weight?
We've all seen SRS impressed onto the IP, "Supplementary Restraint System" the key word being as Carl pointed out, supplementary to the seat belts which are the main restraining system.
Great information about B pillar verses the seat its self. Also really interesting about division of "labor" with design and break through requirements. Maybe you could expand on the moisture problems that caused a ton of airbags to be recalled, and where airbag manufacture and/or car manufacture could make improvements to prevent similar issues.
Thank you Carl! I've always wondered who those were designed by and what it took designwise to make them work. Not simple was no surprise. Thanks for really knowing your stuff! Bruce

There's a scene in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof demonstrating exactly that lol

Today's class... airbag safety. Thanks Carl and team. It's amazing what happens in milliseconds. And the order of deployment. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm so glad i subscribed to this channel. I am getting way more than what i bargained for in terms of education, and entertainment. Love these educational style videos with hybrid tear down components.
Great to hear!
This guy has a great educational talent.
Carl is the best
Thanks yet again for the "online learning" about this little thought about system
Our pleasure!
WOW! What a lesson in passenger and driver safety. I know this is just one part of a larger system but I also know I'm even more appreciative that these systems are now common place. Think how many lives have been saved by the engineers and manufacturers that make them and continue to refine them!
Thanks Munro for showing this to us.
Really interesting and educational for a lay person. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Jarrod!
Thanks Carl. You have "expanded" my understanding of airbags several-"fold".
Really liked that topic. Especially that you pointed out the importance of the safety belt and its tensioner ensuring to hold the occupant closely in position for airbag deployment.

19 minutes of pure gold. This video has the highest signal-to-noise for engineering content of any Munro video I've seen. Well done!

This was awesome Carl! Thank you so much for you hard work 😅.
Always inspiring to watch a really bright person who is passionate about their work.
What an amazing video. Wasn't boring a single second and you can tell he's passionate about the topic.
I’ve always wondered about airbags and I didn’t realize how complex the system is. Great job Carl! Thanks for sharing.
This is why I love this channel. Great info, very well presented.
Thank you James!
Thank you for one of the most educational videos I've seen. This videos are the greatest help for those who are not in design
You're very welcome!
Thanks Carl for this most interesting detailed discussion and airbag demonstration.
This is by far the best and most important for public safety video we all need to know and appreciate about this safety service
Carl is one of the best presenters you have! Glad he stuck at it after the first few videos
Carl is great
Carl 101 at its best, literally. Thank-you!
The quality of the Munro videos keep on increasing by every video. Great work Carl. And Hi to Kevin😂

Love Carl and his intimate desires for interior safety and his bias for quality! Great videos!
Exceptional clarity. Thanks Carl
cool vid.. thnx.

At least in my country. Those are nice to haves but man do I feel much safer since I drive car with ESP.
WOW, both WOW, the system and also this video describing the system. Thanks Carl.
That was brilliantly delivered. Never ever gave much thought and time to how it all should happen. Very interesting - Thank you..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for a great presentation. I already knew all of this, but seeing the side airbag deploy was an eye opener - while it provides great pelvic and abdominal protection, I was surprised that the upper chest was not covered. I assumed it would have extended upwards more. Thank you for this important education.
I always enjoy listening to Carl! Thanks for your simple presentations! 👍
these are all very good to know things that could save lives! should be taught in middle school IMO.. i, for one, will wear my seat-belt more often
The VERY best presentation ever.
Great video about very precise engineering and design problems that we take for granted. Airbags and seatbelts must always work properly in a crash. That’s an incredibly high standard to meet.
Safety really is an unsung hero of the automotive industry. Thanks for the presentation.
My life was saved by a Seat airbag, these things really do work! I never understood how it worked thank you for this video.
Great job! If i am not wrong, there is also a sensor for seat position.
Another good video by the legend that is Carl Crittenden the 3rd!
Thanks Eric
Thanks for educating and enlightening us this kind of stuff/info in not easy available for people
Bloody hell, Carl is so good at his presentations. Excellent video. 👍
Thanks
Team CARL!
Awesome Presentation, Kudos!!
I just couldn't holdback from listening/viewing a third time, thank you for this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really well articulated and presented!!
Thanks Nick

That was one of the best presentations I have ever seen. Thank you.
Thanks Shawn.
Thank you soo much. I really appreciate the physical show & tell. Blowing the side airbag was fantastic. Truly appreciate what you guys do. Well done!
Came here for airbag deployments, stayed for an absolutely brilliant explanation of the passive safety system
Carl, you've just _bagged_ another LIKE from me! Great job!
This presentation is so well done and informative for the general users that this should really be use when someone learn driving to understands the important of airbags and wearing seat belts. Well done 👍.
🤗THANKS CARL , ERIC AND THE MUNRO TEAM FOR EXPLAINING IN DETAIL ALL THE INTRICACIES OF AIR BAGS …in terms we can follow 🤗😎💚💚💚
Thanks
Impressive explanation !
Thanks, Carl

A lot of cars have that pretensioning feature. I believe its called pre collision system. Depending on the car it may also automatically brake.
@@tesla_tap Can't wait to see Munroe Live describe/shoe the Tesla airbag designs.
@@drkastenbrot My 2005 Prius Hybred has pre tensioning that I have felt about 10 times since it was new. - Fortunately no accidents.
Lol….. it’s the same thing with other manufacturers too! Other manufacturers even have seatbelts that and seats that hugs you when going into a corner for even more protection

What a beautiful presentation…
Very, very interesting. I learned a *_lot_* today. Thanks.
Great presentation on a system that is rarely discussed.
1987 Porsche 944 (Turbo) had DUAL airbags. But a fairly rare car so very unlikely for two crashing into each other
My 1980's wife had Massive dual Airbags........lol.
Absolutely fantastic! My brother and I learned a lot and have a new appreciation for the work that goes into these systems! We also like the idea we're surrounded by explosives 😁
I was today years old when I learned a lot more about crash safety. Really great video to help me understand these systems.
That was really fascinating. Thanks for the overview!
Our pleasure!
Great video I would like to see more videos like this. Presentation was top notch
Very well explained there Carl ,thank you :)
Thanks Kevin
Amazing clarity in your presentation, I now know clearly how this system was designed & works.
Thank you.
Very interesting topic, thanks for a great intro lecture
Really very interesting and well presented
Thanks Mark!
Another good video from Munro… I am your first french fan 😉
Thanks! 😃
Great lecture Carl.
This is why I ❤ Munro Live. Guiding the attention to what matters.
Well Done! 👏 👏 👏 👏 I learned a lot there
Awesome Carl! Thank you
Sure thing!
Excellent presentation. Forward the video link to your family and friends.
More videos like these please!
Well done!
Great explanation thanks 👍
An awesome presentation of a fascinating subject. Many, many thanks! You rock.

Very,very informative. Thank you for all this !! Very well explained. Nice engineering
This kind of content is amazing! I have a strong interest in safety systems so this was perfect for me
Such a great presentation!
Thanks Sergio!
awesome insights, thank you for sharing! Never knew that much about airbags, great content. Keep it coming!
Thanks for that, very interesting.
Thank you for video. So much I didn’t know or even thought about.
Thanks for watching, Lonnie!
Super interesting and informative, I learned something new today! Thank you!
great presentation!
Great educational
One airbag not touched on here, probably because it's not common, is a seatbelt airbag. I'd be curious to learn your thoughts on that. Any cons besides added cost/weight?
A somewhat more common airbag (in luxury cars) was also not mentioned. The curtain airbag. It comes down from the a pillar and covers the windows.
Thank you!
You bet!
We've all seen SRS impressed onto the IP, "Supplementary Restraint System" the key word being as Carl pointed out, supplementary to the seat belts which are the main restraining system.
Great video! Thanks.
Really interesting - THANX
This video deserves so much more views
I did not know many of these details. Wish there was more education by manufacturers.
Great information about B pillar verses the seat its self. Also really interesting about division of "labor" with design and break through requirements. Maybe you could expand on the moisture problems that caused a ton of airbags to be recalled, and where airbag manufacture and/or car manufacture could make improvements to prevent similar issues.
More interesting and exciting than a crime novel. Well presented!
Carl rocks.
Ty Carl. I learned a lot.
Thank you Carl! I've always wondered who those were designed by and what it took designwise to make them work. Not simple was no surprise. Thanks for really knowing your stuff!

One of the best videos ever!
Thanks Rick
