Did you know that air bags can go off if you slam the vehicle door too hard. My two oldest boys learned this yesterday. We were sitting in the middle school parking lot. They were fighting over the door, actually Skylar was pulling and pushing the door, driving Brennan crazy. Brennan pulled really hard and the air bag went off. It was very loud. It scared us all pretty bad. My children learned an important lesson about being gentle with doors. They'll never do that again. We are making them work to pay for the air bag. They're not happy, but I think this is a valuable lesson. They need to learn there are consequences to their actions and even though they didn't know there was an air bag in the seat they shouldn't be slamming the doors. I hope they learn to treat things with respect because of this.
Wow! Thanks for the heads up. I'll let my kids know, although that might just perk their curiosity enough to try it just so they can see the explosion. Gotta love kids.
ReplyDeleteYa! Gotta love them. Sometimes I wonder if they will survive to 15.
