1. Seatbelts: Seatbelts are the most crucial safety devices in a car. They restrain occupants during collisions, preventing them from being thrown out of the vehicle or hitting hard surfaces inside. Seatbelts distribute the force of impact across the body, minimizing the risk of severe or fatal injuries.
2. Airbags: Airbags are inflatable cushions that deploy rapidly upon detecting a collision. They provide a soft cushioning between passengers and hard interior surfaces, reducing the impact of a crash. Airbags work in conjunction with seatbelts to further protect occupants from head, neck, and chest injuries.
3. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): ABS prevents wheels from locking up during braking, allowing drivers to maintain control and steering ability, even in slippery road conditions. ABS senses when a wheel is about to lock and modulates brake pressure, enabling vehicles to stop safely without skidding.
4. Electronic Stability Control (ESC): ESC helps drivers maintain control of their vehicles during turns and challenging weather conditions. It detects when a car is losing traction or veering off course and automatically adjusts brake pressure and engine power to help stabilize the vehicle.
5. Child Safety Seats: Child safety seats are designed to protect children from injury during car crashes. They provide proper support, restraint, and comfort to infants, toddlers, and children based on their age, weight, and size. Child safety seats significantly reduce the risk of serious injury or fatality in the event of a crash.
6. Crumple Zones: Crumple zones are engineered sections of a vehicle that are designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy in a controlled manner during collisions. They deform and crumple upon impact, reducing the force transferred to the passenger compartment and lessening the severity of injuries to passengers.
