Alkyl Halide Reactions. The functional group of alkyl halides is a carbon-halogen bond, the common halogens being fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. With the exception of iodine, these halogens have electronegativities significantly greater than carbon.
Its been said that most car companies make it so where airbags deploy based on the impact. It is said that the airbag will not deploy until the impact generates 7 G's of force. For most vehicles that speed is equivalent to hitting an object at 12 mph or hitting another vehicle at 25 to 30 mph. It is dependent upon the impact of the crash.

A well-designed air bag used in conjunction with a lap/shoulder seat belt will fully deploy and start deflating just as the deceleration forces pull the head and chest into the bag. Severe injuries and death can occur when the impact between the occupant and the deploying bag are out of sequence.
