was on the way to the hospital yesterday and the cabbie was telling me he took a guy down the other day that had been in a crash at 5mph said dude was pulling into a pub carpark and a car just tapped his bumper the airbags went off and it was them that did the damage plastic shards stuck in his face and burns from the bags explodeing and burst eardrums and blood vessels in nose
said the doctors told him he,d have been ok if the windows were down nice lil thing to know i thought

Didn't think airbags were supposed to activate if the accident is below 15mph?
I know you get burns on your forearms from the bag going off but plastic shards in the face etc sounds a bit iffy.
Could this be another cabbie knows everything situation. I've had some really intresting conversations with cabbies on the way back from the pub and some of them do talk utter shite.

there dont stop ya sailing through the windscreen, thats whats the black ropey type thing over ya right shoulder is for
on and air bags are actually worse for ya if ya dont wear a seat belt os if ya do thatb at timws get the fooekr disconected ( by a pro as its a dangerous thing to attempt guys )

That's kind of scary, especially if you are doing next to nothing. I heard that the airbag opening does more damage than the actual crash it's self. Makes you want to instal a feather pillow or as you guys would like a real life air bag!!!!

ive had the pleasure of an air bag exploding in my face!
I was in my mums old (ie dead
) mk5 escort HOOOONNNING it overtaking a car.. unfortunately there was something coming the otherway about as stupidly quick as i was going!
KABOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM the mk4 escort i hit dint have a chance!
he wasnt wearing his seatbelt and obviously didnt have an air bag!
he pushed the windscreen out with his wrist, smashed his knee cap and twatted his head on the steering wheel, which was the only thing stopping him from getting a nasty case of gravel rash as it had bent that far upwards it was only 2 inches from the roof!
my mums car was a little worse for wear.. engine had moved back and BOTH front doors were jammed shut.. (had to climb ou the back door got oil on me new jeans too from the sump that had split!
)
i HAD been wearing my seatbelt.. and the airbag had gone off.. i was 100% ok.. didnt even go to hospital.. nothing hurt apart from a bruise on my knee.
If i hadnt of hit the bag i would of been a fucking LOT worse i am sure of that cos i hit the fookin car propper hard!
The airbag was MINT and surprisingly BIG!
