I was in a collision driving a 1987 560SL. I ended up hitting a small tree and poof, there goes the air bag. It didn't seem like anything to me compared to having a newer airbag blow on me -2006 Mustang airbag. I am a tall guy so I don't sit too close to the wheel

What I did notice though with these old cars that they tend to have alot of burning white powder after the accident.
