Exploding Airbags

Exploding Airbags There you have it, another car user death reported in an accident.. Somewhere in Houston , Detroit a 17 Year old is the latest statistic... As in any day, while being on the road, we risk getting into an accident.. As luck would have it, most of us survive to live and tell, to relive the incident.... With the latest technological advances in vehicular safety incorporated in cars.. We all spare nary a second thought on the issue of exploding airbags in cars... But this latest accident, what a scary piece of news for the unwary driver... The car being driven, it could have been fitted with faulty air inflators... There has been a massive recall on affected cars the world all over.... Is that nice family car you are driving one of these affected car models... In this latest accident, this unlucky Richmond girl rear ended another car... Nothing to it, it was just a minor accident, another mishap involving cars... In the words of the investigating police officer, most people safely walk away.. But in this unfortunate case, the sudden jolt triggered the airbag inflators... Safe to imagine, the exploding force blasted to smithereens metal canisters... Imagine the split second moment of flying metal shards and shrapnels all over.. What an unimaginable deathtrap in the fine cosy interior of a nice family car... If one is unlucky, one will not live to tell the tale of walking away unscathed.. So here it is, a little info on this unintentional death that endangers all drivers... Each time we get into our nice family cars, are they safe enough, do you wonder? http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2016/05/05/honda-two-more-takata-linked-airbag-deaths-in-malaysia/ http://finance.yahoo.com/news/honda-reports-10th-us-death-192952748.html http://finance.yahoo.com/news/11-people-died-due-exploding-200801611. http://www.safercar.gov/rs/takata/takatalist.html http://www.safercar.gov/
