Has anyone ever experienced an airbag going off. I'm curious to what it feels like, soft, or hard?

No, but I've met a few scumbags in the past

Yep. Didn't register what had happened at first. Can't remember it hurting but was a shock for sure. No damage to the face.

I drove my seat Leon into the back of a brand new gold at much lower speed for mine to go off

Yeah but due to being a silly twat and not wearing a seat belt, it was my chest that hit the airbag as my head smashed the windscreen! Ouch.

When I realised what happened, I thought the interior of the van was on fire and all smokey but it was just the dust from the airbag.

Great idea. I'll report back. Hopefully.

I can imagine it being a big shock when suddenly it blasts into your face.

Jeez! You're quite lucky then.

Yeah I was. Smashed my head up pretty good and was picking bits of glass out for days but healed amazingly well.

Bants, I'm surprised you're still more or less intact and only missing small parts of your anatomy

Yeah, some seem to go off whist braking for a kiddie crossing the road these days,

I don't really know much about them, but they seem to be stopping people getting serious injuries

Menston near Ilkley

I was hit head on by a d*unken driver driving without lights. Immediately prior to impact I had hit the horn. Of course the airbag lives behind the horn pad the result was spiral fractures in all four fingers of my right hand across my palm.

The surgeon asked for my permission to write an article in the Lancet as it hadn't been recorded before. K wires were needed from knuckle to wrist to stabilise until healed eight weeks later.

So certainly not soft!

I managed to have my car roll over twice, having been struck by a 40t lorry at 40mph but no airbag went off.

Despite this, the Euro NCAP 5* kept me pretty well intact...

Loud, violent and fast; but better than hitting something solid

You could always send Richard Hammond and get a seatbelt report as well

Haha...I've had a fair few accidents in my time. None have really been my fault either! Kinda lucky to have made it to 40 with only 3 finger tips missing!

Don't try and outdo yourself in the coming years, eh?!

See, I'm falling to bits, but pretty much none of it is due to accidents or stupidity

A few people report facial friction burns from airbags going off in accidents but only superficial.

There was once a mechanic who set one off by accident touching wires together & knocked himself out cold. Detonating old ones in a lidded dustbin with a car battery is childish but amusing none the less lol.

Up on them there hills

Wife wiped out a HSE Land Rover and had to climb out of the sunroof.

Came out without a scratch.

Emergency services did say a lighter car, the outcome might not have been so good.

Even the dog on the back seat was checked over (when we found him) by a vet, nothing physically wrong with him.

So I suspect, airbags, like most things it depends on a holistic big picture, not one single thing.
