Small people beware!
Even if you sit more than10 inches away from the airbag (which is why that measurement is given) & it deploys- the airbags impact- designed to protect a 6 foot man, hitting him in the chest, will hit you directly in the head.
At the speed that these bags deploy- it can give you a heck of a head injury.
It's VERY important to raise the seat. Use a cushion.
I know these facts- as my 15 year old SMALL daughter was hit in the head with head with an airbag in a MINOR accident. She will forever suffer from grand mal seizures because of the head injury she recieved FROM THE AIRBAG. She was doing all that was required- wearing her belts properly, sitting more than a foot from the bag.
Pleasae don't let this happen to you or a loved one.
