Is that a dodge truck?

[kitbomb]

its not a Dodge its a 2007 GMC Sierra. The truck was stolen off the factory lot, recovered, and than GM decided to donate it for educational purposes.

Daaang... that was cool, lol. Would most likely hurt too... did the hand rest above the air bag pop up? My Chevorlet Tahoe has the same air bag and hand rest. I dodn't know it comes up. Does it pop up to make room for the cover to come up all of the way?

[kitbomb]

the panel on the front does flip down, so if you have passengers that like to put their legs on the dash it would be advised that they don't as their legs would become mush if the bag were to deploy

ROFL!!!

I'm gonna take a shot at answering this.

The passenger airbag in the vid is aimed directly at the passenger. The airbag in your sunfire is probably like a lot of other cars. They deploy upwards (breaking the windshield) then at the passenger.

dickcheney6,

'

okay thank explain,,,

but dont use a word - YOU - on me,,,

use another person had another crash

[dickcheney6]

@inuyashazelda778 Only if you are sitting too close to it, or if you're riding in front before you meet the height requirements (I doubt one would be pulled over for that unless it was a child who still had a car seat of any kind, and there was no obvious reason for them to be in front, plus a cop couldn't tell if the vehicle had an air bag)

If you're positioned properly, you will hit it after it's already inflated, and that's how it was meant to protect you.

[dickcheney6]

@bestamerica It wouldn't work if, heaven forbid, you had another crash. The reason is that a kind of chemical "burns" to create nitrogen gas very quickly, and that's what inflates the air bag. The "inflator module" would need replaced.

@Rejekt176 your right my sunifre is like that sorry i know i'm not the guy you were originally talkin to but just thought i'd let you know your right

[bignicky88]

@MegaCrumbsnatcher i suppose you think driving unrestrained is a brilliant idea. you go ahead with that, see how it works out for you.

[boomy818]

you know ppl can die while a airbag pops in their face?? the bag has nitrogen gas pellets so it has about 130 f. gas in the bag so it can burn your face 3 degree

[MegaCrumbsnatcher]

@bignicky88 do you really believe that or do you work for these folks.

[aftermathsample305]
