Title: Water Bottles and Air Bags
Post by: Oldman on February 19, 2008, 01:40:46 PM
Last week my Air Bag warning light came on in my Jeep. So yesterday I took it to the Jeep dealer. Turns out that two water bottles on the back floor board hit a sensor under my seat and set off the Air Bag warning...

Now if that is not a piece of work I don't know what is...

Lucky it only caused a warning and did not set off the bags, that could have been very dangerous. You would think the sensors would be somewhat protected to prevent accidents from occuring.

Yikes.... That could be ugly!

You would have to clean out your shorts if that happened! (pants for the UK guys)  :o

specific gravity of rum is greater than water,

F=MA, big motor in that GP, large acceleration,

therefore we deduce the M must be great!

Thus brings us to BS which in this particular equation it extraordinary!  :D ;D ;)
Since I drink rum that does explain the greater reading on the scale I assume (hope). :o  ;D

That's scary to know that can happen Olds.

I can imagine the headlines now.

Vehicle causes 80 car pile up on interstate when water bottle rolls under seat and sets off air bags!!!
