függönylégzsákok

Függönylégzsákok, also known as curtain airbags, are a type of automotive safety device designed to protect occupants in the event of a side-impact collision. They are distinct from other airbags in their deployment and coverage area. When a side collision occurs, or is imminent, the curtain airbag deploys from the roofline of the vehicle, typically along the side windows. Its purpose is to create a protective barrier between the occupants' heads and the impact zone, which could be another vehicle, a pole, or a tree.

These airbags are designed to remain inflated for a longer duration than some other airbag types, providing continuous protection during a rollover event as well. They can be triggered by sensors located in the sides of the vehicle that detect rapid deceleration or excessive force consistent with a side impact. The deployment is rapid, inflating within milliseconds of activation. Curtain airbags can also help prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle during a rollover. They are a crucial component of a comprehensive passive safety system in modern vehicles, working in conjunction with seatbelts and other airbags to enhance occupant protection.
