Yikes. Sounds like Final Destination if the Takata air bags are deployed. Metal shrapnel and pieces of loose metal bars come flying to you in all directions. Might as well they don't deploy.

QUOTE(Xu3r @ Oct 23 2014, 12:03 AM) The only way is to invent this The killer metal shrapnel are not outside material but from inside the vehicle. Parts of the airbag or the car that pierce through the airbags when the airbags are deployed. It is scary to imagine that the airbags which are supposed to be a saving device is going to kill you by launching shrapnel onto your face and neck. Might as well take the airbags out if that's the case.  I wonder if the car models over here in Malaysia are affected as in the USA. Apparently very quiet here. Though when accidents happen the authorities here won't probably go into detail like CSI and just regard mishaps as sudden death due to negligence, and that the airbags failed to protect the occupant in extreme situations even though they are deployed. |
