A LOW SPEED ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG EXPLODED RATHER THAN INFLATE, LEAVING ME WITH NO PROTECTION. THE GAS AND PARTICULATE FILLED THE CABIN INSTANTLY LEAVING ME WITH NO VISION IN OR OUTSIDE THE TRUCK UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. THE SMELL WAS SIMILAR TO BURNT GUNPOWDER. A DEBRIS SCORCHED A HOLE IN FRONT OF MY SHIRT. THE PASSENGER BAG ONLY PARTIALLY INFLATED. SPEED 30MPH. DIRECT HEAD ON COLLISION TO SIDE OF OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE PICTURE BUT CANNOT UPLOAD RIGHT NOW. THIS AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE.
