The airbag tests left out the fact the face would be flying forward as well as the airbag explosion, might cause more damage

[christopherclark]

I’ve always wanted to see what happens when people turn their airbags into claymores and I wasn’t disappointed.

[mgcharoudin]

I'd like to see a headlight eyelashes test and how it affects pedestrian safety. Emotional damage included.

Edit: typo

[Pepperowniez]

The seatbelt clip actually worked great. My passenger seat sensor in my BMW was messed up, and always thought someone was sitting in it, triggering the fasten seatbelt light and beep constantly. It was cheaper than replacing the sensor and just removed it when someone sat in that seat.

[Django]

Even IF the airbag bedazzle JUST "scratched" you, imagine the many people who don't wear glasses when driving. That thing meeting your eye...DAMN!!

[adnanabdillahghifari]

The last product reminds me of the largest recall in automotive industry, Takata airbag recall. The airbag will send shrapnel into your face instead of land into the airbag

The sunvisor displays are only "Certain Death" if used improperly. I had similar (but much higher quality) sunvisors in my '06 Grand Caravan for like ten years. It was great for allowing the front seat passenger to watch a movie on long road trips, and a rather funny coincidence, but you actually named my primary use of the driver's sunvisor monitor. I am a Private Investigator and Security Guard and would often watch movies on it during long surveilance jobs, or low risk overnight watches. I'd also occasionally use it to review footage while still keeping my cameras available to record. It's far less distracting than using a laptop as I can keep my head up and still be watching outside the vehicle as opposed to looking down at my lap or the passenger seat.

[MannyBrum]

The ballistic gel head looked like it didn't have a skull inside it, so it wobbled and dispersed the impact a little more than one with a rigid shape. Those things definitely would have done damage at the speed they flew at the head.

[fridaycaliforniaa]

Basically, the airbag "wrapped" in spikes is what in the military we would call a hand grenade 😂

[ElegantMessTechPC]

You can also consider with the "bedazzled" airbag, the drivers head is usually moving towards the steering wheel rapidly so I'd guess it would be even worse

[intox]

As far as the first product goes; that can also be used when running a harness, while still keeping the original seat belt in the car.

[ceasarsalad]

That seabelt thing is very useful when carrying items on the seat. When I drive to the fish and chip shop I put the bag on the seat and often get the annoying beeps until I safely strap the food in. They should have said "do not use when a person is sitting in the seat"

[aidancabral]

The seatbelt clip is useful in some cases. Back when I used to deliver pizza in my 86 the slightly heavier pizza orders would set off the passenger seat dinging.

[donkee]

That bejewelled steering wheel should have "Front toward enemy" imprinted on it. Like every claymore mine has.

[catcreaturething]

As a fluffy wheel owner, I gotta say they're actually very practical. I get calluses and splinters/minor infections from doing work or art a lot and it's 1000's of times less painful than a normal cover. Not to mention it's not hot in summer, yet good for winter. Shedding is definitely something you gotta manage though.

[RetroScythe]

The seatbelt clip is actually very useful. If you work in trade and cant afford a van, you have to use a car. If you are transporting heavy items like bags of plaster or paint then you will at some point have to put it on the seat which sets off the alarm. Sometimes it can be difficult to plug the seatbelt so one of these would make the job faster and easier.

[Diablothein]

A "Front Towards Enemy" sticker usually is included with the steering wheel bedazzle nonsense, but nobody puts them on.

[justinbissonette]

Actually bought the first product a while ago. Newer car with 5 pt harness and 8.50 rollcage cage. Needed to stop the dinging lol

[Vaustick]

I actually bought the seatbelt alarm thingies for my mom.
She puts her stuff on the passenger seat and her car thinks someone is sitting there and it triggers the chime. With this she doesnt have to reach for the seatbelt on the passengers side everytime she puts her bag on the seat. These just sit in her cupholder now :)

[Kboyer]

I actually use the "Bluetooth seatbelt" in my Impala although I just bought one from a junkyard instead of ordering something from Amazon. I use it as the detection sensor in the passenger seat is stupidly oversensitive to the point that the miniscule amount of power running through an Aux cable from my iPod will set it off. (Yes, I still use an iPod. I do a fair amount of travel in areas where cell reception is not a given so I like having backup music.)
