How do airbags catch fire?

falafel_waffle_867_5_309Aug 29 at 5:18 PM

Airbags do not typically catch fire, but their rapid deployment relies on a fast chemical reaction and an electric igniter (squib) that generate extreme heat and sparks. If a malfunction occurs, or if hot gases and sparks contact flammable materials like torn dashboard plastic, wiring insulation, or leaking fuel during a crash, a fire can start.
