  1. Airbags have holes that begin releasing the gas as soon as it's filled. The goal is for the bag to be deflating by time your head hits it. That way it absorbs the impact, rather than your head bouncing back off the fully inflated airbag and causing you the sort of whiplash that could break your neck. It's not to "stop the airbag exploding" Also, the second airbag is a passenger airbag which is why it's bigger.
