Default resetting air bag modules?

on one of the internet sites some guy offered air bag module resetting for only $60. the price is way better than buying a new one, but is this even possible. as far as i know they are a one time use. Any info or experiencewould be great

I also heard that those are one time use only. But what makes them usable only once?

The air bag it's self is not rebuildable!!

The reason is that it's a chemical reaction that causes the expansion. The result is toxic and has to be handled as such.

Although I guess it would be possible to remove all the spent chemicals, fit a new igniter, and fold the bag back up, I doubt it could be done for less than what the initial manufacturing cost is.
