Reply to 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
I knew a girl this happened to. It nearly killed her and almost ended any chance she had of having children. She ended up getting addicted to opioids during her injuries and then was awarded over $600,000 in a lawsuit and it took her under a year to blow it all on drugs

It’s almost as if there’s many other things like rent and food and cars and parties and lawyer costs that could also contribute to the loss of money
