when the side air bags deployed, they were shredded by the shattering glass. I didn’t expect to see that. the other 3 air bags were intact. has anyone here had a similar experience.

my injuries, and subsequent complications, were serious enough to hospitalize me for more than 6 months, but not as severe as many at this very helpful forum.

Hi Tanglefoot24- I work with survivors and have not heard them talk about their airbags being shredded by the shattering glass. If I hear about it, I will let you know! Let me know if there is anything we can do to support you during your recovery.
