The term 'collision cushioner' refers to an airbag, which is a safety device in automobiles that is designed to protect the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a crash. An airbag is a flexible fabric bag that is filled with a gas and is mounted in the steering wheel, dashboard, or side of a car. When a crash occurs, the airbag inflates rapidly to cushion the impact of the occupants against the interior of the car.
