Dangers Of Decelerating

The video explains the concept of deceleration and its dangers in car crashes, highlighting how rapid deceleration can cause severe injuries. It discusses safety features like crumple zones, airbags, and seat belts that help reduce the forces experienced by passengers. The video also mentions other safety devices used in various settings, such as helmets and crash mats, to minimize injury risks. Viewers are encouraged to drive safely and use these safety features to protect themselves.

What is the primary reason rapid deceleration in a car crash is dangerous?

• It improves the car's handling.

• It makes the car more fuel-efficient.

• It increases the force experienced by passengers.

• It causes the car to speed up.

How do crumple zones in cars help protect passengers during a crash?

• By reducing the car's weight.

• By increasing the time over which the car decelerates.

• By enhancing the car's speed.

• By making the car more aerodynamic.

What is the function of airbags in a vehicle during a collision?

• To deflate the tires.

• To increase the car's speed.

• To enhance the car's fuel efficiency.

• To provide a soft surface for the head to hit.

Why is it important to wear a seat belt while driving?

• It helps you drive faster.

• It reduces the car's fuel consumption.

• It locks upon impact to hold you in place.

• It makes the car more stylish.

Which of the following is NOT a momentum-reducing safety device?
