## Narrative
I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY A CAR GOING VERY FAST.  I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND MY AIR BAG DEPLOYED.  A FEW SECONDS LATER MY AIR BAG BURST INTO FLAMES.  I USED MY WATER BOTTLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.  I WAS DAZED AND HURT AND IF I WAS UNCONSCIOUS RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREME.
