This Is the Brutal Damage A Passenger Airbag Can Do To A Windscreen
This is the brutal windscreen damage that can occur when a passenger airbag fires. The force of the bag’s deployment has totalled the screen, punching it so hard that there even looks to be a small hole in it, at the centre of the impact.
Many cars these days fire the front passenger airbag out of the top of the dashboard, and although we can’t tell what kind of car this is, the placement clearly isn’t without its drawbacks. The damage was definitely caused by the bag, the police say; not by the initial collision if there was one.
The photos were tweeted by a roads policing unit in the south of England along with a message never to put your feet on the dashboard. To be fair, looking at this we really don’t want to think what would have happened to your feet, ankles and legs if they’d been sandwiched between the bag and the glass, not to mention the damage to your face if your knees hit it with this sort of force. It’s okay to shudder; we sure as hell have done.

Keep your feet on the dash…
I dare you
I DOUBLE DARE YOU
Natural selection has it’s own ways. :P
Apparently someone did actually do that now. :/
What a smashing job by the airbag
“…the air bag went out with a bang, the windshield had a crack, the owner lost money and the passenger broke their legs and remained stupid happily ever after, blaming the car.
The end! 😁
Solution: Remove the airbags, WEIGHT REDUCTION BRO!
“WE DIE LIKE REAL MEN”
That’s why you shouldn’t put your legs on the dash.
No airbags no worries
I would be pretty worried without them!
Happened to my car, then I saw on TV someone was trying to say that his head hit the windscreen when his daughter crashed at low speed - just for the insurance money or whatever. It was a stupid story that they still aired on TV. What were we talking about again?
TVR: “You can’t break the windscreen with the airbag if you don’t put airbags”
taps finger on side of the head
That happened to me. I was doing 15mph there was air in my brake line i hit the car in front of me only damage to my car was my passenger airbag deployed which destroyed my windscreen and my chevy emblem fell off the front of the car. Lol it was a cavalier.
