Airbags have saved many lives since they were introduced.

The next generation of safety devices deploys a large canister of marshmallow, to cushion car occupants in the case of a crash. It will also taste good, when you slam into a sheep-sized, raspberry marshmallow with your mouth open.

Best of all, emergency services personnel merely have to douse you in hot chocolate, to free you from the wreckage and squashed confectionery.

       If I found a woman trapped in a giant marshmallow and I had anything chocolate to pour on her, I would never set her free.

       You beast!

       Sorry, UB, but the question needs to be asked - how do you get a sheep-sized raspberry marshmallow into a canister?   

       Marshmallow & chocolate? How about the S'mores extrication kit? Break open a box of graham crackers and call the local girl guides.   

       I'm afraid you'd have folks crashing their cars just for the sugar rush.

       Oh, just stuff it in under pressure, with a lot of CO2. The gas will expand once you back the pressure off, inflating the marshmallow... like shaking up a can of Coke.

       Would there be an option for a diabetic version?

       Diabetics- Hypoglycemics would begin to pass out, crash the car, and be brought back by the sugar. It could be a life saving event. Hyperglycemics would just be royally screwed, especially if they had to eat their way out.   

       Yeah, hyperglycemics would be fine after the crash but pass out trying to eat their way out. Of course, they could just sleep it off and try again a couple of hours later. Maybe it would act like a tranquilizer to reduce the effects of shock.
