Saw a patient recently whose car (Ford) phoned the emergency services for him automatically while he was kicking his windscreen out to get out of his car after a smash - he couldn't open the driver door due to deformity of the bodywork.
Airbags all deployed (red face from hitting it) and pretensioner-related bruising to collarbone and pelvis.
Suspect the energy involved would have meant mince & chunks back in the 80s when I started driving.
