Air bags provide a level of safety never before seen in modern automobiles.  But with that safety also comes a potential for serious injury to technicians and rescue personnel. At the September 2004 meeting, Dave Long "The Airbag Detective" put on an excellent presentation that clearly demonstrated these hazards.  If you were unable to attend you need not fear (too much) because Dave has provided us with some important documents relevant to the subject.  You can find the list below.  In addition we have some pictures and a couple of short videos.  (My apologies for the poor quality of the videos.  I was not as prepared as I would have liked.)
