deploy and deflate as exploding. its hard to explain, but airbags contain exhaust holes that are quite large, so when the nitrogen gas starts filling up the airbag, you hit the bag as it deflates a little bit to absorb more shock, and as you are moving back into your seat, the bag has delfated. basically, the air bag can go off and deflate 3 times in the tiem it takes you to blink once, or 1/20 of a second.
