when air bags first came out in large numbers of cars i was in a ICAR class on how to fix SMC body s mostly the van gm had . had one of the guys telling use about techs sending streering colums threw the roof s of shops and one guy getting both legs busted when he had is legs up on the drives set under the dash with a test light . yes they can hurt and can kill. i been out of the body business for 15 years i will not even get close to any thing with a bag. at one time i did work on cars with them every day. even with a book in front of me i would not fool with them seats . find a GM tech and pay him to make them safe . your not thinking of trying to make the bags in operational shape? hope not .i would not want them bags in anyway in a glass car or older steel car. the bags are made to work off the gm car cage/door frames /glass . platform.not a glass car. there was a case were somone did not put a windshield in right.the car was hit bags went off glass failed came out when a dash bag went off
