Re: airbags

David, and I say this with a mostly straight face, this is one of the funniest stories you've ever told. For some reason it reminds me of Mark Twain's "Ode the Stephen Dowling Botts, Deceased."

Ceres et al

My ex-brother in law...my sisters ex husband (one of 7 or 8! We've all lost count by now) was a Highway Patrolman. He was on duty during a really bad storm and he didn't realize that the bridge was washed out. His car plunged into the swollen river. His partner who didn't have an air bag broke his neck and died instantly. My brother in law's air bag deployed saving him from the crash but he couldn't get himself out of the car when it sank. He subsequently died by drowning pinned by the air bag.

Kitty, my granddaughters air bags on her Ford went off (is that inflated,
ejected?) last year when she was involved in a minor accident. It cost $1500 to
repack. She is very small and was not hurt by the airbags as I have heard but
she said she crawled out coughing due to powder or dust that exploded with
the bags.
