Toyota Advertisement, 1993, "To Its Long List of Safety Firsts, the Toyota Previa Now Proudly Adds a Second"
01
Artifact Overview
Airbags first appeared in automobiles in the mid-1970s, and they became widespread in the 1990s. In a crash, a gas propellent quickly inflates a nylon bag that cushions and restrains a person during impact. Airbags are "passive" restraints because, unlike seat belts that must be fastened, they require no effort from vehicle occupants in order to work.
