Do you know? The airbag that usually hides in the dashboard and silently guards you can sometimes turn into a cold-blooded killer! Don't get me wrong, this is not a sci-fi movie script, but a tragedy that actually happened. On an ordinary night in the United States in 2009, a woman was in a car accident on her way home with her younger brother, and she thought that the airbag would save the day at a critical moment, but it brought an unexpected disaster. When the airbag popped out violently, the metal fragments inside were like loose arrows, and they plunged straight into the head of the unfortunate female driver, causing irreparable loss of life.
Not long after, the same scene played out again in Japan, this time with Honda's Takata airbags that caused another fatal accident. It turns out that these tragic airbags were all made by Takada, a veteran auto parts manufacturer that once enjoyed a long history of more than 80 years and the trust of many internationally renowned car brands. However, it is this reputable company that uses chemicals containing ammonium nitrate as propellants in the production process, although this substance can quickly produce gas at high temperatures to inflate the air bag, but once not properly handled, the power is enough to make the metal parts fly out of control, and in an instant, the life-saving artifact becomes a life-saving weapon.
It's really funny, it's like inviting a martial arts master to protect his home, but he used too much force at the critical moment and smashed the porcelain of the master's house. Gaotian's move, perhaps out of the consideration of reducing costs or improving the response speed of airbags, deviates from the fundamental purpose of safety products - to protect rather than threaten the safety of users' lives on the way to pursue speed and economic benefits.
Looking back at these cases, we can't help but reflect that scientific and technological progress should be people-oriented, and safety design should not tolerate sloppiness. Those subtle hidden dangers behind industrial products, once they erupt, will become a black hole that swallows life. While we are saddened, we also hope that relevant enterprises can learn a profound lesson, strictly control product quality, and do not let the last line of defense of safety protection become a gamble between life and death.
