This got me thinking how much it would hurt if you're wearing glasses or even sun glasses. I know it hurts like a bastage when my 2 yr old smacks me in the face (and then giggles) - can't imagine what an airbag would do.

I've unfortunately had two cars totaled - in a 13 month period. First time, similar to a poster above, a dark car parked on the interstate in a driving lane. The second time, a truck pulling out of a blind turn in a parking lot straight into traffic, forcing me to plow straight into him. I've had the airbag deploy twice, and saw my life flash before my eyes in a matter of seconds twice.

I don't ever remember the airbag itself. I remember a very violent smash, but no pain, just a numb feeling in my face and dread at not knowing if I was going to live. The airbag didn't hurt, it was just a surprise during an already insanely surprising moment. To be honest, I don't think I even noticed the airbag at the moment of impact, there was just way too much fear going through my head knowing that I might be about to die, with nothing that could be done about it.

In short, I wouldn't be afraid of what the airbag feels like. In retrospect, it's probably the sweetest feeling in the world.

My brother in law nearly had to have a skin graft on his fore arm. The texture of the airbag ripped off a lot of skin and meat from his arm when it went off.

I worry about this happening to me one day on my daily commute.

the whole accident is probably happening to quick that your senses dont even have time to register the pain.

his arm holding on to the steering did not have enough clearance?
