Can the Airbag be triggered by sudden braking?

No. The sensors that trigger inflation of the Airbag are switches that are activated by frontal or near-frontal significant crashes only. The sensors can discriminate between sudden stops and significant collisions. In fact, the maximum force generated by the braking system is only about 1/10 of that necessary to activate the Airbag system.
