as it says this is your average drivers air bag, attached to bag is a chunk of metal just under a kilo, interesting, Rick

dont know if this is how it is supposed to look, it should be a video, Rick

yup, thats spot on! you can play around with the different link options to see how it looks, but this works fine.

great video, cant believe how explosive that was, and how flipping high it went!!!

great so glad it worked, I remember how shocked I was when I set my first one of in a car and how hot the bag was after I opened the door and felt it, I shudder to think of that on my face, and the chocking smoke I was outside the car and could not put my head inside, but if it is that against my face or the steering wheel? I prefer neither, Rick

a Mk 1 T2 but there is not a lot of difference tween all of them have done primeras, hondas rovers you name it, it just gives you a little idea of the forces involved if you hit something at speed, what you see is designed to help you survive, I banger race and have hit the "wall" head on at 30 mph the wall dont move, but with a full race harness 5 point mount I still bashed my nose on something (through the helmet) it could only have been the steering wheel but normally in the car I cannot get within 18 inches of it, I have long legs so the seat is always right back, the harness is pulled that tight that it is a job to move at all so there you go, when on the road I am always reading at least 3 cars ahead of me, most times I know what the guy 2 or 3 cars ahead is going to do before he does, that is reading the road, much better than relying on stuff like air bags, Rick
