That's a lesson I also learned - if you are about to hit something,
take your hands away from the steering wheel. My airbag tore the watch
off my wrist, and blew it into the street. My hand felt broken for
weeks. Airbags are evil.

they don't contain air. it's an explosive gas, therefore they should be
called gasbags.

Its not a gas, its Sodium Azide which is a powder. In an airbag it is
ignited to decompose into a gas.

yep. gas. not air.

Good. Air is not a gas. I'm glad you have established that point.

whoosh.
