Something else
Surely they didn't mean that
I did mean that. And don't call me Shirley.
Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Claymore at home:
Bedazzling and crazy long finger nails is just a fedora cargo shorts for women.
I love those long fingernails, but then I also like cargo shorts, so ok
Bedazzled Claymore
FRONT TOWARD ENEMY
Bedazzled steering wheels are like hunting with Dick Cheney, there's always a chance you are going to get a face full of bird shot.
Surely airbags are constructed in a way that doesn’t include slamming the hard plastic into your face?
I’ll retract that question mark. Designing it that way would just be too dumb.
Most are designed for the cover to move to the side when deployed but some are designed to split in some way that could cause the rhinestones to come free.
I’ve seen the occasional post where the front plate burned/branded people’s hands during deployment if they were holding the steering wheel.

Also an article about people getting injured from the bezazzling!

An airbag is just a carefuly sized explosion instead of a kevlar pillow case, in a crash the airbag is deployed in a fraction of a second, lots of engineering goes into making them safe. However, the rind sones aren't an intended part of the system and can be separated from the wheel and "knocked" out of the way at high speeds, much like ball barberings in a claymore.
Told a couple once "Just so you know, in an accident the clipboard you've got glued to your dashboard will hit you right in the face as the airbag explodes madam, so it might be a good idea to remove it."
She looked at me with huge eyes then turned to her husband who was looking straight ahead with an annoyed look on his face, they took off and the clipboard was still there on their next visit...
Do you know what the hell it was used for?? Did they like…pin old school Map Quest instructions to it?
I've seen people do it to jot down plates of litterbugs
Probably used to hold reports for an on the road job
This is purely a guess but I feel like the people who do this are probably also more likely to get into an accident where the airbag would deploy.
darwinism hard at work.
The Engineers who invented the air bag to save lives
I'm one of those people that has never learned to drive and i know nothing about cars... I'm guessing from the comments that the joke here is that the stuff attached to the steering wheel will explode in the driver's face if the airbag is activated, is this right?
Basically, they're converting an airbag into a shrapnel grenade.
Rhinestones aren't really that sharp though (unless they're the really nice glass ones which I'm assuming these are not). It's also likely that at least the first two are plastic backed sheets. I can't imagine they'd be worse than the sharp metal logo usually on there.
Disclaimer: I know more about rhinestones than cars, which isn't a lot
The airbag deploys at 200 mph. At that speed the sharpness isn't really the issue.
ha, they will be pretty no more if those bags go off
Pretty bloody
Really all it's going to do is slap your hand with the bedazzled parts, I doubt there is enough energy to make them all fly unless they are pretty loose. But it would still hurt like hell cause I had a Toyota logo on the back of my hand after getting hit by the airbag in my car.
Those logo bruises are a thing. Imagine how much worse these would be if the logo was bedazzled.
i would love to be branded with a toyota-logo tbh. but these seem like they heal without much scarring.
