End of story. Not condoning this action just calling it as I see it.
This happens thousands of times, every day. Guaranteed.

One thing about airbags and I guess shipping them that worries me is the static discharge aspect of them being deployed.

Ground yourself before handling!

That is a GREAT deal!

I paid that for the airbag. This one is leather covered!

Mine was purchased from eBay, they just sent it in a standard box, no issues.
