At the side of the collision, the protection of the 5 E60 people in the BMW is provided by the side airbags, armpits, energy absorbing of doors, as well as the system of tube airbags for head protection. The form of the latter, compared to the previous generation of BMW, was supplemented by a special "sail", which extends from the front to the rear of the car and closes its entire side area. The "sail" is secured on the roof frame and is pulled down in the event of collision with a rotating pillow hose. Such a lateral collision safety system has the following advantages:
-The side glass cover has been increased.
-A high level of protection is provided to people with any growth.
-Improved protection against glass shrapnel, as well as other items that may enter the passenger compartment.
In the case of side impact or coup, the person is held in the seat, thus preventing the possibility of "nod" head towards glass, as well as reducing the burden on the neck.
