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
This almost happened to me almost 2 years ago. I'm thankful to be alive. It was the middle of the night so not much traffic on the residential street I was one. I managed to get out my car in disoriented state and go up to the house closes to my car. I banged on windows snd doors. No one came out to help. I couldn't stand anymore and collapsed in their front yard in the cold pouring rain, thinking that was it. Said my final prayer. And closed my eyes. A young lady drove up. She just happened to be an RN. And put her coat over me and called 911 and kept me alive until medics came. It was a blessing. I'm so thankful for her. She was an angel. And I hate that I can't remember her name, for obvious reasons.

Sidenote: not only did the airbags send metal throughout my car but it broke every one of my ribs when it popped. I also has burns on my face and arms from the explosives.
