i was in my mom's odessey going 70mph when a car in front of me swerved right into my path at 50mph. i barely touched the airbag as the odessey had pre-tensioners on the seatbelt. my passenger was fine too, he barely touched the airbag also. there was a minimal amount of smoke in the air, nothing to even complain about... it was over literally in the blink of an eye. the only thing i had was a tiny bruise on my knee from hitting the dash.

anyways, how do you guys sit in your car? i know alot of kids theses days like to sit all gangsta style in their car, making their seatbelts and air bag systems useless..... just a thought... the bottom of the belt should be taut just above your hips, and the upper anchor should be about ear level (its not adjustable in civic coupes/hb tho). you seatback shouldnt be more than 20 degrees from vertical.
