How does the airbag work on a human guinea pig?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Airbag

In this truly exceptional video, we can see the effect of an airbag explosion on a human guinea pig. Naturally, this person was fully aware of what was about to happen, which is why they were wearing a neck brace (after all, their health had to be protected in some way), but the speed at which the impact occurred was remarkable: 38 miles per hour, equivalent to about 65 kilometers per hour. We see how the airbag deploys in a fraction of a second, so much so that the eye cannot catch the moment it opens at the front, nor when the second one opens. However, it manages to keep the person in place without injury. It is essential, to achieve this result, to have the seatbelt fastened.
