It is one of those devices that we are grateful for, but we never want to have to use. As you know, the purpose of an airbag is to reduce injury by either cushioning the occupants contact with the interior of the vehicle or preventing contact completely in the event of an accident.

If you are shipping internationally by ocean or by air, be sure to refer to the requirements of the IMDG code or IATA.
