My friend Patrick was driving down 84 a few days ago and hit a puddle of water on the middle of the highway, he hydroplaned to the left and scuffed the center divider. He did almost have complete control as he hit but the airbag went off (damn Hondas) and blew hid hands off the wheel. The wheel turned and he did a 360 and slammed into the opposite guard rail then into the center divider again. He was OK but his new car is completly totaled. He said he would of been able to recover after he intailly hit, and there would have been maybe $500 worth of damage to the fender. Now his car is completley totaled and he has burns on his arms from the airbag.

Who thinks airbags should not be on cars, and who thinks they are a wonderful saftey device?
