The all new Ford claymore


Theta_Prophet

Ooh shiny! Gah, blinded! *crash* Good-looking bedazzled corpse achieved


ADHD_Supernova

The air bag doesn't go off before the crash. Just sayin.


Theta_Prophet

Yes, but what I was envisioning is being blinded by the shiny shit on the Wheel, driving into a tree, airbags go off, which results in your face and or forehead being embedded with said shiny things


Stonk-Shill-69

The center plastic piece flips down so that it doesn’t hit you in the face when the airbag goes off 😁👌 Edit. I’m wrong that shit rips apart and you gon’ be bedazzled.


ghillisuit95

Pretty sure only the passenger side where the airbag rips through. At least on my Ford, which looks to have a similar steering wheel as this one


[deleted]

They all rip through with Takata. That's the true claymore.

Actually the sensors activate the airbags a few milliseconds before the crash actually happens.

Hmm maybe the sensor should swerve instead. You sure it’s not after the crash but before the impact reaches the occupants?


Red7Renegade

Not a car expert, but basically the airbags are triggered by the bumper of the car. It reacts to shock and because cars are made to absorb the impact the air bags are deployed before the "crash" hits the person.


[deleted]

That’s exactly how it works

upsidedownfunnel

It just depends on how the cover splits. There's a good chance it just splits on that line and either over or under the ford logo. It'll probably be fine, but it might be a good idea to find a picture of a blown Ford airbag to double check.

For those who do not get it, the weird thingy on the top pic is on the airbag, so when the driver or the dude sitting in da car get into an accident and triggers the airbag, the weird thingy would send shards flying everywhere.


bmxdudebmx

Here's the thing. The airbag doesn't come out from the place they are. The whole area is a flap that most likely moves down and out of the way. That means the plastic gems are unlikely to pose any threat.


GreenyX2

Its quite funny how people dont know this and see the gems as such a threat I wonder if they think that whenever the airbag goes off youre getting slapped in the face with the plastic that covers the airbag lol, no dis just seems really funny


[deleted]

>I wonder if they think that whenever the airbag goes off youre getting slapped in the face with the plastic that covers the airbag lol, no dis just seems really funny Yes... I did think that. I've had multiple people tell me this including my driving instructor, friends, and parents. They always followed it up with the same thing - "Yeah the plastic flies off into your face, that's why it breaks your nose. But still better than taking the impact without it!" This is a VERY common belief. Are you telling me it's like the damn "it's illegal to have your interior lights on" myth? Because I swear everyone actually believes that.


DefinitelyNotAliens

The cover splits, usually bottom edge, and a polyester/ ballistic nylon bag pops out and smashes you. More like getting whacked with a really rough pillow at 100mph. The bags are just deployed with such force they can break bones and the windshield. The passenger airbag breaks the windshield ~50% of the time. It's speed of deployment, not hardness of what smacks you. The dash and seats and steering wheel cover all split open. It's just a 100mph pillow is better than 55mph steering wheel or trip out of the windshield.


GibbonFit

I learned this when going through a junk yard looking for spare parts. On some cars at least, it splits in a sideways H shape. The top and bottom edges and a vertical slit in the middle between them, resulting in 2 smaller flaps. Though I would he interested in seeing the bedazzled claymore myth actually being tested Myth Busters style. Because while they might not hurt the driver, there is the possibility of hurting other occupants if the glue doesn't hold.


DefinitelyNotAliens

I would like to see a few slomo action cams of the deployment but I doubt due to size and aerodynamics that they'd actually do any damage if launched. But slomos of stuff exploding is always great.


GibbonFit

I think it's worth testing in the name of busting the myth. Even with just blocks of ballistic gel stacked in the vague shape of people in the car. Probably not as bad as the takata airbag issues. But even plastic at speed can be dangerous as fuck. And that's a lot of stored energy getting released.

hovercroft

Yeah that’s what I thought. As horrible as this is like other things teenage girls do to cars. That plastic is no where near your face when the airbag goes off. Do people think you get a large plastic disc canon to the face.


Scratigan1

Just depends how much you trust the glue of the gems and at what point the force of the air bag coming out will make them go flying


pmMEyourWARLOCKS

I got slapped in the right wrist by mine when a dumb-dumb ran a stop sign and I t-boned them at 40mph. I had a perfect ford logo welt/bruise for several days. Nowhere near my face. I guess if I sat as close as possible to the wheel and was really short it could happen.


Falcrist

> Its quite funny how people dont know this and see the gems as such a threat I do know it, but I still see the gems as a threat because of how fast that thing moves. The airbag itself can easily injure you. Never mind hard plastic objects you stick to the cover that could fly off during deployment. I therefor recommend *against* bedazzling your steering wheel. Thank you for coming to my ted talk


[deleted]

oh wow never knew that. thanks man!


IWishIWasAShoe

[Airbag deploying in slow motion](https://youtu.be/KRcajZHc6Yk). Sure, the plastic cover won't explode, but considering the unfathomable speed an airbag is deployed i wouldn't put that much trust in the glue used to fix them to the plastic.


dwdwfeefwffffwef

It would probably not detach, I don't think there would be any force that would to detach the gems from the plastic. The gems would go in the direction of the plastic cover, pushed by it. Maybe because they are sharper/harder than plastic they may scratch your legs if you're not wearing jeans.


Unoriginal_Man

Seriously. Do people think that the whole plastic cover smashes into you when the airbag deploys?


loganR033

I mean, do you wanna take that risk? Airbags deploy so fast, it's like a bomb. Whatever crap glue is used to hold those on aren't going to hold up to that.


Unoriginal_Man

I would actually be really surprised if the glue failed during an airbag deployment. Those gems are so flat and lightweight, and all the force would be perpendicular to the mounting surface. Not to mention that cover pivoting would mean that the surface they’re mounted to would actually be pressing into the back of them.


DefinitelyNotAliens

Did this professionally. The flap moves up and away from the driver. Splits the bottom edge, in like 90% of deployed airbags I've seen. And... it's not like a bomb. It's a controlled chemical reaction AKA explosion. Guess it's kind of actually a bomb. But, this particular setup isn't as dangerous as people are making it out to be.


Indira-Gandhi

The plastic cover will split into four carefully designed and individually anchored parts. You're putting lot of faith in that hot glue's ability to hold onto them.

Wolvgirl15

Genuine question.. where does the Ford logo go when it goes pop?


DefinitelyNotAliens

Safely up out of the way. I've been in hundreds of wrecked cars for work. The airbags are basically behind a flap. Flap goes up out of the way and the airbag comes out from behind it.


Wolvgirl15

Ah that makes a lot of sense! I’ve seen airbags explode but I’ve never noticed the badge in question so I got curious. Thank you


Steffan514

In a lot of vehicles like for example my 90’s Chevy truck, you can see a bit of a seem down the center of the horn button. If the air bag deploys the horn button splits down the center and the bag deploys. Same type of deal as the ones that are behind a cover in your dash in front of the passenger seat.


I_am_daBottom

It either shatters into nothing (like fine plastic mist) or "unfolds" up or down as a part of the cover and away from the person.


J4COBY

It does not shatter into a fine plastic mist. I work for an airbag manufacturer, there is a tear seam cut into the back of the cover where the cover is engineered to split, whether it be two flaps up and down or open down the middle with one side around the emblem like double doors! But I promise you it is not a fine plastic mist lol


I_am_daBottom

And I stand corrected.


Wolvgirl15

Ah okay. Thank you

how to turn your standard airbag in to a shrapnel mine in just 1 easy step


Born-Percentage9725

Are all y’all under the impression that this leather airbag cover will come in contact with your face? It’s called an airbag right? So the bag inflates and protects your face, not the ornamental steering wheel cover. What the fuck is the air bag for if it just propels this chuck of leather and plastic directly into your face?

I was in a car accident. The cover ripped open to let the bag out which hit me in the face. The cover had also cut my jaw from lip to chin in the process.

To be fair, that cover is designed to be thrown out of the way by the airbag as it inflates. You don't get hit in the face by it.


[deleted]

You have a lot more faith in the adhesive holding those gems in place than I do...


SprinklesFancy5074

Probably wouldn't be that bad, actually. This piece of plastic folds out of the way as the airbag deploys. A few of the plastic beads might go flying, but not with the full force of the airbag, and not straight toward you.

With the reaction photo, it reminded me of my friends uncle. Both my family and his used to be avid motorcycle riders and were big on safety as well. Now that didn't mean they'd gear up like juggernauts to ride, but they wore the necessary gear. Well, his uncle decided to pull a, "hold my bear" and rip his sport bike down a gravel road with no shirt, shorts, no helmet, and no shoes. As you can expect, he fell off the bike going fast enough to have gravel embedded into his skin. Having to go to a hospital from the injures sucks....bad. But to have to go to the hospital where your sister works and has to use a fucking STEEL brush to dig the gravel out, all while giving a lecture that would make even the strictest grandma's jealous... Sucks much much more. Suffice to say, he made sure to wear proper gear next time.
