First let me point out I am not a certified airbag tech. I do however go to a defensive driving course every year we are taught how to drive with airbag's and I rebuild total's as a hobby. People think airbags are like a pillow,wrong hear they are deployed by an explosive charge. Do not handle or toy with your airbag system.It can cause serious injury or death. This is my concern,the passenger side airbag in the most dangerous. You should see what they do to windshields and dashboards. Nasty stuff. As a truck driver I see this all the time, the passenger is sitting with the seat reclined. Nice and relaxed feet up on the dash board. No one expects to get into an accident,truth is we are at the mercy of 10-K idiots on the road at given time we have no control over them. An accident happens in an instant,just watch the people around you it's scary just watch the guy go from the #5 lane the the exit ramp in less than 1/10th of a mile at 75mph.
OK for the relaxed passenger in 1/18th of a second the airbag explodes from the dash,just imagine what happens to those bones.Yes this can be fatal as the knees are slammed into the forehead,it has happened and people have been crippled do not let the passenger put there legs up on the dash. Good luck and watch out for the other guy cause he ain't looking for you....
