Designing devices that reduce collision forces

Engineers design devices, like helmets, airbags, and parachutes, specifically to reduce the forces a collision or a fall puts on a person or object. Many of these devices work by spreading the same overall change in momentum over more time or a larger area, which lowers the peak force felt at any single instant.
