By now most responders should have herd of the incident in Dayton Ohio where two fire fighters were injured as a direct result of the accidental deployment of the frontal airbag system. Ron Moore while working with FETN did a great training video with actual footage captured by a TV crew.
This incident while tragic as it may be, has served to improve responder SRS awareness through out the world. However, it seems that the word may not be out to everyone. The word has gotten out that some responders have been injured but for some reason those in the know have not come forward to make this information public so others may learn and possibly prevent a similar occurance.
I ask that if you know of such an incident that you post the incident on this forum or send a email to Ron Moore or myself.
If you don't want to get involve, let us do the foot work on your lead, you may ask to keep the information confidential for what ever reason you may have.
I do believe that documenting these incidents are one way that the automobile industry will start to look into responder concerns. If not for yourself, do it for your brothers/sisters!
