| Description of the problem | Deer ran in front of my car. Air bags inflated and stayed so for quite a while. When i got out of the car i noticed my foot was burnt with skin off and legs were burning from the powder in air bags. I know the bags should inflat but the smoke from this kept up for quite a while. I did not think this powder should have kept coming out so much and so did passerby people who stopped to help. We had the powder in our eyes. |
