When a car suddenly stops, the passenger’s body keeps moving forward because of Newton's First Law of Motion (the law of inertia). Unless something stops them, they will continue moving at the car’s original speed. This can make them hit the steering wheel, dashboard, or windshield, causing severe injuries in the body.

Safety features like airbags increase the time it takes for the passenger to come to a stop. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion (Force = mass × acceleration), reducing the acceleration (slowing down more gradually) lowers the force on the body. This lessens injuries during impact.

These areas absorb the crash energy and increase the time of impact. This slows down how quickly the car stops, which reduces the force passed to the people inside. This also relates to Impulse (Force × Time = Change in momentum).

If the car slows down first, it reduces its speed and momentum. A lower speed means less force will be needed to stop the body during the crash, which greatly lowers any injury that will be taken during a crash.
