Description of the problem	I was in a collision in which i was going 10 mph and the other car was going 45 mph on a divided highway intersection. My airbags deployed. However, when the driver's steering wheel airbag deployed it shot the hyundai logo from the steering wheel into my arm at 200 mph. The only injury that i sustained was from the "h" logo that was propelled into my right forearm; i sustained a deep bone bruise/minor impact fracture. When i reported this to hyundai they investigated and determined that the airbags deployed properly and that i should expect the logo to be shot from the steering wheel along with the airbag. However, i also own a 2011 hyundai and the steering wheel does not have a separate logo but an imprinted "h". I don't think that when an airbag deploys it should shoot anything except for the airbag. The logo hit my arm but if it hit my eye i would have lost my eye. If it hit my throat it could have collapsed my airway. Airbags are supposed to protect you and not cause injury. I don't understand why i should have anticipated that this piece would become a projectile in an accident, or why its acceptable.
