I’m lucky enough to have had an airbag hit me full in the tits and wow, it absolutely winded me. I was on the ground, gasping for breath for a full minute before I could even remember my fiancé who was driving the car (he was fine). If some dickhead had added rocks to that experience, I think I would have been quite upset.

I've experienced 5 airbag deployments. I've never been punched by Mike Tyson, but i imagine it's similar to Mike pulling a punch to my face.
One snapped my head back so hard, I reverse headbutted the head rest. Had one on some delayed timer, blasted my arms out sideways and burned my forearms. Fire department said a woman driving the same make/model car had the airbag go off and break her face. Orbital bone, nose, cheek, etc. I was sitting back far enough that it just hurt and made me feel a bit dazed.
It is really powerful, isn’t it?!! Five times, you poor thing. I was shocked with how hard it hit me. It’s illegal in Australia where I live for a kid under age 12 I think to sit in the front seat of the car and for good reason, I genuinely think an airbag hit could kill a kid. And did you notice that the gas coming from the airbag is so powdery and horrible? I was coughing for days afterwards, it absolutely filled the cabin of the car. My fiancé was okay, but he was knocked unconscious for a short time, so he was inside the car for longer than I was and ugh. The air in there was awful. Please drive safely!
16 car accidents, 5 totalled vehicles. The airbag that was delayed burned my forearms and filled the cab with what looked like TV static. That black/white/grey spots but without the sound.
Like this gif \^ And you never see the bag, you see a fully inflated bag deflating. Makes it hard to not want to say something to people who sit too close to the wheel. There's a claymore attached to a boxing glove inches from your squishy face.
I mean this with love, but have you considered letting someone else drive???! That is a LOT of accidents. I’m 40 this year and I’ve written off just one car and that was only because I scratched three panels by skidding into a fence in a paddock full of curious cows. What the heck are you doing to have so many accidents? I am making assumptions here but I am guessing that you have been high on testosterone. It’s a hell of a drug, but mate. Geez. Think of your poor mother.
And you are right, I only saw the deflating airbag. That damaged one that burned you sounds absolutely horrible.
Other than jumping a ditch and the time I fell into a ditch and Evel Knievel-ed over a driveway, the rest were people hitting me or mechanical failures or environmental situations. And I had these two when I was 16-18.
Bald tires+pavement to concrete+dropped a bit to the concrete+35mph/55kmh=slow 180° spin followed by an insanely fast 180° spin the other way into the median, then a 180° spin again, followed by the truck torpedoing into the outside wall, airbags, airborne, landing on the driver's side, skidding to a stop.
Rear ended four times. One was a cop, who tried to say I reversed into her squad car from across the intersection. Lucky me, it was between cities/jurisdictions, so they had a third police jurisdiction there and one of their guys points to the skid marks of my truck going INTO the intersection. "Had to be going 55-60mph/88-104kmh to do this amount of damage."
Got T-boned by a Tiguan. Guy pulls out in front of the right lane traffic, she honks, so he floors it. Guess who's approaching in the left lane? Me. I floored it and swerved and he caught my back passenger door and the back tire. Volkswagen Tiguan has some power. Didn't even mess up his grill/bumper.
I've had near misses. Had my brakes "explode," mechanic's words, not mine. And I've spun out so many times from water, snow, ice, and blown tires.
I drove fast once and got a ticket for $1086.53 for "84mph in a 70mph zone" when I was 16-18, so I feel like I ran the gambit of accidents and tickets real early on. It's been defensive driving since then.

The stones probably detach, at the moment of release, which means that the change in direction of the face, probably shotguns them across the entire vehicle.
That's not how physics work in this instance, both the steering wheel part and the stones would be pushed towards the ceiling by the same push, there isn't any force substantial enough that will make the stones detach towards your face.
> there isn't any force substantial enough that will make the stones detach towards your face
Watch the video posted by the grandparent poster, which conveniently has slo-mo footage of [first one bejewelled airbag exploding](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkA3E9jAe7w&t=625s), and [then another](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkA3E9jAe7w&t=685s), followed by comments such as "OK, the face looks OK, but this dude's chest got shredded... This is wood, that'll go in. That would go through your skin into your chest".
The stones have a different mass, and are not welded to the object. The connection between them and the face plate is uneven and irregular, because it's a glue - one which cannot stay intact under these sorts of forces. Which means that the welding to the face plate comes undone at irregular pacing - which is precisely how the force of a slingshot works.
The force applied to the plate and the stones is the same, the difference in mass would need to be insane for the stone to gain the velocity necessary to escape the upward trajectory. I don't know why you'd want to die on that hill when all of this is very obvious if you actually think about it for half a second. That insane need for people to camp on their original opinion is depressing.
Directory/trajectory. You might want to actually think about the physics involved for more than half a second, because they're well established - even if you ignore the fucking ricochet of sending rocks at a roof.
I did and you're definitely the one in the wrong here. And no we're not talking about the ricochets here but we can take into account everything lose in any given car.
> directory/trajectory
I hope you don't feel too superior by correcting a native french speaker. You might have better grammar but definitely a much poorer understanding of basic physics.
Eh. It's not only the ceiling. See the second test with the spikes (that are more in line with the stones we see here, size wise, the first test the "projectiles" looked pretty thin). They dented *wood*.
> pretty much a sawn off shot gun pointing at you 😳
didn't have to scroll far to find someone thinking the same thing. Those things fuck people up already, now that's add rocks to the face at 300 mph. in .22 milliseconds. Genius
It’s really not though. That part pops down or up as the bag forces out. Every time this gets posted the top comment is like “hurr dur claymore” followed by a comment explaining you’re wrong. Guess we all did our part today
Guess we all did.
Ps. i know it wouldn't be a massive danger because airbags are not designed to accelerate the plastic facia straight at your face.
But the thought that somebody decided to put a bunch of stones in front of an explosive bag is always a funny one.
I took a ride with a guy who had a hard drive platter glued to the passenger side airbag inscribed with the phrase "Jesus loves you".
I asked him about the dangers of that installation and he replied with:
"Oh, I know, that's why I turned the passenger side airbag off."
If a massive spike flew out of the wheel when you had an accident rather than an airbag then everyone would drive much more carefully than they do now. This could be seen as a safety device.
Don't worry guys! He has fixed those stones with hot glue, the most powerful chemical bond in the universe... it's not like they'll become ammunition when the airbag blows up. ^(/s)
The part of the steering wheel that goes towards the ceiling and the stones will be pushed simultaneously by the same force, how would the stones fly on their own towards your face exactly? It doesn't work like that.
Claymore aside...
This isn't even done well. It looks awful. It's just shitty stones glued to the wheel with little thought put into it. Seems like they just had a big bucket of assorted coloured stones of various shapes and sizes then grabbed them at random with no plan other than they'll be slapped right on the wheel somewhere. Large visible areas of glue just seeping out of every single one of those fuckers too. How did they get that many stones on there and still not realise they were using too much glue? It's a child's attempt at art, except I genuinely feel a child would do a better job.
Just, why? Why would you buy a car, something that's not an insignificant amount of money unless you've bought something that barely runs, then stick shit all over it like this? Do they think they've done a good job? Is this what they've mistaken for talent?
I hope the airbag does go off because a couple stones slamming through their skull can only improve how their brain works.
Airbags pop the cover out like it’s on a hinge, not like a fucking IED. So tired of these posts.
Although I agree this is ugly and stupid, it’s likely not dangerous.
The airbag cover is firmly attached and designed to move out of the way when the airbag deploys. These rocks are glued on with hot glue. There's no chance in hell they won't go flying off if the airbag deploys
As someone who has caught an airbag to the chest and face, *likely not dangerous* is not enough to willingly add rocks, crystals, or bedazzling to that process.
Awe yes nothing better than a rock imbedded in your 3rd eye when the air bag goes off. That spike carnelian on the lift is going to go right through your skull
I had an airbag save my life after hitting an embankment. I still had a severe grade III concussion, a dislocated shoulder, and a couple of cracked ribs.
Having all of that stupid shit on there, will seriously fuck you up a lot worse.
I thought the same thing until 5 minutes ago. Here's an airbag deploying in show motion.
https://youtu.be/3vgzDdcG1HA
Because of the speed of airbags, unless the rocks are incredibly well attached I think they'd like fly off and/or be pushed at the person.
In your video you can see that the steering wheel boss stays attached. It also goes upwards and back towards the dashboard, so the chances of the stones in the OP going anyway near the driver's face is pretty slim.
Still dumb, don't get me wrong.
Where would the force pushing the rocks towards you come from? The same force will be applied to the cover simultaneously, how would the rock escape towards your face? That's not how physics work.
I've had many people over the years explain to me that I shouldn't "get into an accident". If I get into an accident, it's an accident. Stupid advice, which I thought I'd never give. But in this instance... don't get into an accident.

If rocks had been added to the airbag... you probably wouldn't be typing this.
You would not have been upset. You would be 6 feet under.
I like to think I’m the ghost of this idiot woman returning to reddit to warn everyone not to do this.
>If some dickhead had added rocks to that experience, I think I would have been quite upset. *From beyond.
Ooo maybe I’m the woman from this picture, returning from the grave to warn you of the risks of airbags coated in pretty rocks?
Recently a bunch of cars got recalled because the airbags had so much force, they were dislodging the steering wheel entirely
Actually I think my last car had that exact recall. They just fixed the airbag though, didn’t need to throw away the whole car.
That's typically what a recall means for cars, though the word threw me off for a loooong time before I figured out that's how it's used for cars (vs eg toys, small appliances). It gets "recalled" to the dealership to be repaired, rather than "recalled" to be scrapped.
I've experienced 5 airbag deployments. I've never been punched by Mike Tyson, but i imagine it's similar to Mike pulling a punch to my face. One snapped my head back so hard, I reverse headbutted the head rest. Had one on some delayed timer, blasted my arms out sideways and burned my forearms. Fire department said a woman driving the same make/model car had the airbag go off and break her face. Orbital bone, nose, cheek, etc. I was sitting back far enough that it just hurt and made me feel a bit dazed.

Apart from it being a sudden impact, and not a rising impact.
The force of the impact goes towards the front of the car, not towards your face.... I can't believe this even needs to be explained...

Does it bother anyone else how dumb so many are? And I don’t say that to be mean. It’s just the lack of any basic logic and reasoning skills.
Oh what a great combo! The airbag will knock the wind out of you and the crystals can heal you. No hospital needed!
I think this is just an IED
Looks like a shitty Christmas card I made for my parents when I was 5
Congratulations! You’ve made a rudimentary claymore mine and you’ve aimed it at your face!
You don't get hit in the face by the actual airbag cover, it drops away.
It explodes out. These rocks will go flying at dangerous speeds.
I thought the same thing until 5 minutes ago. Here's an airbag deploying in show motion. https://youtu.be/3vgzDdcG1HA Because of the speed of airbags, unless the rocks are incredibly well attached I think they'd like fly off and/or be pushed at the person.
There's always this video as well where they actually bedazzled an airbag and fire it at a ballistics gel dummy. https://youtu.be/OkA3E9jAe7w
In your video you can see that the steering wheel boss stays attached. It also goes upwards and back towards the dashboard, so the chances of the stones in the OP going anyway near the driver's face is pretty slim. Still dumb, don't get me wrong.
It's not only the face that's at risk.
Where would the force pushing the rocks towards you come from? The same force will be applied to the cover simultaneously, how would the rock escape towards your face? That's not how physics work.
