Dang that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not saying faulty air bags are okay, they are not. They've been the subject of one of (the?) largest saftey recall ever.

This predates that but there was a pattern emerging. Apparently it wasn’t that the airbags failed to fire but that the computer didn’t activate them in the first place.

Then again, my mother is a fucking Karen who lost a legal fight against someone driving a government vehicle off the clock so whatever. Point is, grandpa chose what hospital she went to based on the quality of their parking deck.
