| Description of the problem | I was involved in a very bad head-on collision and both leg and steering wheel airbags deployed. My car was headed southbound on the street and the suv in front of me stopped suddenly because a school bus cut him off. I was wearing a seat-belt. The force of the airbags deploying was so great that it knocked me unconscious. The airbag that deployed by my legs has left me with some of the worst bruising i have ever seen and substantial pain. I have attached images of both the deployed airbags and my subsequent injuries. The er doctors, orthopedic doctor, neurologist and emts thought that these injuries were unusual and not consistent with the normal result of airbag deployment. |
