Having had the airbags save my life, I definitely do agree that though saving your life, they beat the cr*p out of you. *Which kind of makes sense since they inflate by an explosion of NaN3.
When I slammed my head into mine, it was like receiving a huge punch to the nose, leaving it blue and hurting for at least a solid week.
And the white smoke/debris you've mentioned... Yep, it fills the cabin as if you'd turn on the smoke machine inside.
Glad you two didn't get majorly hurt.
Hopefully you never experience the airbag deploying ever again!
@davidkain, yes I’m am too glad that it wasn’t worse. Sorry bout your nose! I know that had to smart! I tripped a few weeks ago... it was cold and I had my hands in my pocket—- and did a face plant. My nose!! It hurt sooo bad. I had a bloody nose but it wasn’t broke. Noses are sensitive! Ouch!
Yeah they say 200 mph for those airbags.... crazy!
I’m an ex paramedic, so I know they help... but NOT while I’m parked 😂😂😂
@jeejee
I feel somewhat bad for laughing at your face plant, but at the same time it remembered me of all my past face plants, which also make me laugh, so... Hope it's a little more okay for also laughing at myself :3
Maybe your car had a nightmare and crashed in its dream! ;D
Hahaha!! It’s totally ok to laugh at my faceplant... I wasn’t laughing back then, but I do laugh now 🤪
I think the van very well could have had a bad dream! 🤷🏻♀️
