Minor impact with a properly seated and belted occupant. Dual-stage airbags can have two chemical inflators or may actually be dual-stage stored -gas units containing two newer stored gas inflators. It's withstood the higher impact force. An igniter starts a rapid chemical reaction generating primarily Nitrogen gas to fill the airbag making it deploy through the module cover.
