Anyone else with a 2014 have any airbags deployed that burned them?

 

Actually burned, or just airbag rash? There's nothing in the mechanism that creates heat.

I've heard many people claim that there was smoke from a deployment, but that's simply dust from the talc-like powder that prevents the airbag from sticking to itself when it inflates.

 

I have never been hit with an airbag so I am just guessing here...

If the airbag material is at all coarse in texture it could possibly cause a rash like a carpet burn as it moves accross your skin.

Perhaps the powder could do the same if it is moving fast enough?

I guess it is also possible for someone to be allergic to the powder?

 

I have heard that it can cause a chemical burn.

I have and it's more of a rug burn then an actual heat burn. It will go away in acouple days.

 

Thank you all. I was just confused because when all the airbags deployed I couldn't move and it felt as if they were just siting there burning my skin. Lost part of one of my tattoos

 

There is a huge recall out on airbags. Just heard about it yestarday in the way home.

That chemical burn is real. I had a bag deploy on me in an accident many moons ago and it burned a large patch in the felt (or whatever it is; feels like felt) of my pullover shirt/jacket thing.

 

I have a nephew who was in a wreck with the airbag going off. He started coughing up green crap , his Doctor said it was caused by the stuff from the airbag going off . He's alright now

 

Airbags often hurt.. Yes I have experience.
Beats the windshield though.
