Default Airbags

You know that hard plastic Porsche emblem on the steering wheel airbag, right in front of our faces? Where does that go when the airbag blows? Between the eyes? What's it like to have a bag go off? Anybody?

Maybe you should run into something and tell us

Come'on Dude, is this really a serious question? Do you think Porsche would open themselves to Product Liability suits by creasing the foreheads of their owners. I think if safe to say they thought it out and attempted the least amount of collateral damage as could be engineered under the circumstances. It is probably hinged.

Does that answer your question?

Yes. And you told me a little bit about yourself, too.

Steering wheel air bag cover splits.

Really, was just trying to pose a light-hearted, fun question(not that the reason an airbag goes off is funny) to get a novel thread going. Was wondering what's the experience like to have one of those go off on you(punch in the face? hot gasses? white powder everywhere? loud?). Attempt obviously fell flat.
