TAKATA INFLATORS: AFTER HITTING A ROADSIDE OBJECT AT A COUNTY ROAD TURNING INTO A COMMUNITY, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THAT CAN BE ACCEPTED, BUT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT INFLATED. I BURSTED, NOT BLOWED OUT SIMPLY WITH THE BAG ITSELF WITHOUT AIR. AFTER TALKING TO HONDA, THEY REPEAT THAT THE INFLATION PROCESS COME AND GO QUICKLY. I KNOW THAT IT COME AND GO QUICKLY. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT INFLATED AT ALL. AS A SCIENTIST AND ENGINEER WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO EXPERIMENTS, WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN BE A HUMAN BIAS, WHO KNOWS THE SPEED OF HUMAN REACTIONS, THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS THAT I WAS SURE AND AM SURE, THE BAG WAS NOT INFLATED ENOUGH. I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH IT WAS INFLATED, MY IMPRESSION WAS THAT IT WAS INFLATED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5-10 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS VIRTUALLY STOPPED WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THE BAG DID NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF MY BODY BESIDES MY RIGHT ARM. MY BODY DID NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL AS THE SPEED OF AT HITTING WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MOVE MY BACK AWAY FROM THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG DID NOTHING BUT BURNING MY RIGHT ARM, CAUSING A SECOND DEGREE BURN. NOTE THAT, THE AIRBAG WAS SERVICED BECAUSE THE RECALL. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL AIRBAG WHICH WAS RECALLED, IT IS THE NEW ONE. THE PROBLEM IS EITHER CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT ITSELF OR BY INSTALLATION. IN ANY CASES, IT IS A DEFECTED PRODUCT THAT DOES NOTHING WHEN DEPLOYED BUT HARM.
