  1. Patrick W. Hetrick  came up with the idea in 1951 and got the patent.

    Allen K. Breed then developed a key component for automotive use—the ball-in-tube sensor for crash detection.

    John Pietz holds a patent on a chemical compound that inflates airbags almost instantaneously


  2. In 1952 the airbag was invented by John W. Hetrick and he patented the airbag the following year. It was an invention to help protect his own family using expertise from his naval engineering days.

    There have been airbag-like devices for airplanes as early as the 1940s, with the first patents filed in the 1950s.
