Air Bag Deploys At WrongTime - Finish
My last post on the subject in this thread at least.
I noted my FIL kept the air bag switch in his pickup on "Off". I just thought he was being old-fogeyish. Then, my stock advisor's daughter was injured in an auto accident where the bag DID activate.. She required surgery, including plastic surgery, to repair the injury that the bag caused. I still think that they save lives, but there is no doubt they can be dangerous in their own right. |
