From time to time I get a bit carried away listening to the radio and I tap and bang the steering wheel (which contains an airbag). Then one day it occurred to me that I might set the thing off!
So I got to wondering just how many airbag misfires happen. Personally I think the windscreen shattering into your face, and an airbag blowing would be the 2 worst things to happen when driving; far worse than a wheel falling off.

A quick google search suggested that airbags don't misfire (or nobody talks about it). So have you ever heard of one?
