Why YSK: An airbag typically deploys at 100-200 MPH and if your phone is sitting there it will be launched towards you and probably impale you. Don’t put your phone on your steering wheel over your airbag. Don’t put any alternate logos or bedazzling on your airbag. Basically don’t do anything to or put anything on your airbag because anything you put on it will launch on impact.

    Also, passengers, don’t put your feet on the dash unless you want your knees to go through your face in an accident.

      Yea this too. If you are ever debating doing this search you up some aftermath pictures. People’s femurs break and their feet are up by their face. Just don’t do it.

      Every time my sister does this when she rides with me and I tell her every single time to not do it. All it takes is one asshole not paying attention to rear end me and all of a sudden she’s likely permanently crippled.
