Default airbags in cars

just a wee note to say airbags and cars are not as soft and fluffy as they may appear. they damn well hurt when going off! and crashing your car really isnt as much fun as it looks in the movies! its been a bad week!

I've never had a bad enough crash in the car to set off an air bag (thankfully) even though I've lost count how many car accidents I've had
What happened?

They still have to fit one very important saftey device into cars.....

A big ass spike right in the midde of the wheel, that should convice people to crash less, though for some it won't help.

Sorry you crashed, hope your okay much damage to you? Heal fast.

Sorry to hear about your air bag experience.

I am sure it will always be a big shock when they do go off!!

At least your not dead! I always had an idea for Novilty airbags! You woudlnt know you have one until it went off! Imagine a Hamburger shaped airbag, or a giant Tit!

Sorry to hear about you tale of woe. As they say, things can only get better!!

have a few virtual beers.

They do hurt. My arms were cut/abraded/burned to bloody ribbons by mine.
