Air Bag explosion! (listen To PKRWUD)

[red82gt]

Airbags aren't no joke! I was in a highway speed collision in a 300E Mercedes where I was t-boned from a side road and sent off into the first axle of a semi truck that was waiting to make a left turn off of the 4 lane highway I was driving on. I didn't see the airbag come up and I swear I heard the charge that set it off after I already saw it deflating. My right eye swelled shut and the whole right side of my face was cut up and swollen. However with it being an offset frontal collision the airbag is quite likely to have prevented me from breaking my neck or back from folding over the shoulder belt, for a 60-0 time of tenths of seconds, thats a lot of force happening right in front of you. I'm still a believer that they can be a lifesaver. But damn they can hurt!
