New Honda airbag grabs your head to save your brain



OHIO: A new airbag design is set to show up in Honda cars from 2020, promising to grab and cradle a passenger’s head like a baseball in a mitt.

While that may not be the most reassuring mental image when you’re considering an unexpected impact, the multi-part airbag could help avoid neck injuries that are often sustained by front passengers during crashes that occur at an angle.

Honda says that it expects to begin rolling out the new airbag in its vehicles in the US from 2020. No word at this point as to which cars or trucks will feature the redesigned system.
