My bad totally typed something different when i was typing it.

An airbag deploys pretty close depending on what position your seat is positioned on the actual rail. Have you ever seen someone set off an air bag with a battery it will go atleast 50 ft in the air with the airbag side facing the ground just think what it does to you face. I was a paramedic for a couple yrs and now im a fire fighter. I see fractures to the face people swallowing their tongue choaking and then die,2nd degree burns. You may think their the greatest invention for safety wise but their a death trap in certain circumstances. Oh and the air bags that come in these hondas arent the new ones that dont burn when they hit you either.

I guess I just don't understand upon the initial thought of it. I'm 6' 3-4" and I sit with the seat slid almost all the way back. It probably wouldn't hit me.

Get a harness to go with your wheel.

firstly, we should ALL be wearing a seatbelt when we drive (Thank god i aint too cool for a seat belt, -Kanye West)

and secondly, a harness isnt gonna do $hit for him if he doesnt have the pipe mounted behind the seat, or else he's just gonna fly threw the window attached to his seat.
