G-Force Control Technology (G-CON) is at the core of the safety-focused design on the Insight.
It might sound like a superhero command center (and you just may come to think of it that way) but it's really the name for the way Honda engineers optimize each part of the aluminum body and frame to best absorb impact. Front and rear crush zones, dual side-impact door beams, and a rigid, box-sectioned cabin floor also work together to help protect you, while you are helping to protect the environment.
Other features such as reinforced hexagonal frame extrusions, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), dual front airbags and 3-point seat belts with an automatic tensioning system are further arrayed in your defense against the uncertainties of the outside world.

The insight's anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes to help prevent wheel lockup. This helps the driver retain steering control when braking hard. The Electronic Brake Distribution system (EBD) balances the front/rear braking forces.
In the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal impact, the dual front airbags inflate and deflate in a fraction of a second and are designed to help prevent serious head and upper-body injuries.
The front and rear crush zones provide driver and passenger protection in moderate-to-severe full-frontal and offset-frontal impacts.
Front 3-point seat belts with an automatic tensioning system ride across the lap and chest to help restrain occupants during sudden stops or impact.
