I really feel when air bags on steering wheel and under wheel went off the bottom bag hit my leg and knocked my foot off the brake pedal leaving bad bruise on my leg. First response,hit the brake but in confusion i think my foot was knocked over the gas peddle causing me to run into car ahead. Result: $9000. 00 damage to my car, other car got scratch on bumper.
