Why YSK: An airbag typically deploys at 100-200 MPH and if your phone is sitting there it will be launched towards you and probably impale you. Don’t put your phone on your steering wheel over your airbag. Don’t put any alternate logos or bedazzling on your airbag. Basically don’t do anything to or put anything on your airbag because anything you put on it will launch on impact.

    Had two friends crash due to a pair of sunglasses being put on the passenger side dashboard. In a roundabout they fell, the driver lost focus looking at them, got a bit into the other lane and had a truck run them over.

    I don’t put stuff there anymore!
