Seat Belt and Airbag

I'm pretty sure a car has a mechanism in which the airbag deploys if it feels a sudden strong fender bender or worse. And yes, even if not wearing a seat belt. Maybe the only connection is when the car feels a strong tug on the seat belt. Every car is different.

Hmm.. then I guess I am having wrong information. Actually I tried to search about the same on internet too, but I have got multiple answers for it. So it makes me even more confused. Some of were even saying that, airbag without seat belt can even harm you. I don't know how, but it is new thing to me.

It may cause sudden head tilts and suffocation if in the wrong situations but that is situational. Anything can be deadly if in certain situations. A seat belt may soften the impact since it's holding you on to the seat and away from the airbag deployment. This is just speculation and situational. If you're worried about your own car model, maybe you can contact the manufacturer to ask about it and get a definite answer.

Nope I am not worried about my car. But actually I was having this discussion with one of my cousin. But we both were confused about it. So I thought to ask here. And I got good information from it too. Thanks to you all.
