Car phone airbag

A little extra potential padding for the noggin - just in case!

This is a safety device for the insanely busy person who must conduct business deals on the cell phone while in the middle of rush hour city traffic. It is especially indicated for the person who refuses to buy a hands-free adapter even though his/her car is a manual transmission. Place an appropriately small airbag with a small charge in it to immediately activate in the event of a crash which also damages the phone. I realize this could be potentially dangerous, too, having a compressed gas charge adjacent to your head, but nothing's perfect. It might just save someone's life so he/she can live to drive-talk-crash again.

       Don't encourage the homicidal bastards. There's no call so important you can't pull over.

For those busily insane people cell phones should be fitted with small explosive charges that will blow their heads off if a call is made or received while the car is in motion. Kill them before they kill you.

       A friend of mine had his Audi A8 stolen by some teenage joyriders, who crashed it into a tree.   

       Both airbags deployed. The driver had been drinking Coke from a plastic bottle at the time of impact. The airbag slammed the bottle into his face, smashing his right eye socket and cheekbone. It also wrapped his arm around his head so hard that it broke in 3 places. Don't drink & drive.   

       His mate had the decency to wait with him until the police and ambulance arrived.

       Um, okay, I'm all for not talking and driving, but you two just creeped this thread right out. <=P

       More resembles a rocket engine than an explosive, but it is a very fast reaction.
