Jules Winnfield Says: they are very small and usually kept inside a piece of plastic which contains them and the explosive until electrical current is passed through the wires leading to it. I would say they are about the size of a medium sized book.3. Scott Says: It depends on the airbag - each is a different size. The one in the steering wheel is packed into a container that's about the size of an old point and shoot film camera. The passenger front bag and side bags are larger.4. michael f Says: Prolly not that big bought the size of a brick Tag: How big is an airbag before it is released?
