Either they are using thinner cheaper windshields or the airbags have too much air in them 😵

[@lukeheffernan]

i haven't seen a passenger airbag break the windshield like that in a while!

[@balls_in-yo_jaw]

Everycar does that

[@whattheheck1000]

An airbag from 2024 certainly shouldn't do that much damage to the windshield. That's the kind of damage we often saw in the 1990s.

@@whattheheck1000 Yeah, not good IMO. Wonder if there was a malfunction with the speed sensitive airbags.

[@waychillbro]

Does it actually matter or make any difference if the airbag breaks the windshield?

[@lukeheffernan]

Not really, but to me, it's an indication that the passenger airbag is deploying too rapidly, which can cause injury. Plus, I think less shattered glass in the car the better.
