Reply to comment by _Haverford_ in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

Not to mention that someone would obviously be dazed after a suddenly airbag explosion, it was likely a moment of surprise and then loss of consciousness before what had happened could even get processed

Nobody seems to ever mention how much airbags sting. My eyes were bloodshot from the powder the entire next day.
