description: MY WIFE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF A PARKED VEHICLE. THE CRASH ITSELF WAS HER FAULT, HOWEVER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED INTO HER FACE AND CAUSED INJURIES, FRACTURING THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE, BLEEDING IN HER LEFT EYE AND BASICALLY MADE HER WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE SWELL UP TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT RECOGNIZE HER. MY WIFE IS 5'3" AND NEEDS TO ADJUST HER SEATING POSITION CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER FOR HER FEET TO REACH THE BRAKE/ACCELERATOR PEDAL. MY CONTENTION IS THAT AT A LOW SPEED ACCIDENT, IF THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH NO INJURIES. ALTERNATIVELY, IF THE CAR HAD A TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL THEN SHE WOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO AVOID THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING INTO HER FACE. *TR
