A 13 year-old Volvo S80 going at 30 mph hit a tree and the driver's airbag
deployed. Examination of steering wheel in car lot revealed a starburst-like
formation with sharp edges seeming to rise out of steering wheel. Was this
the "airbag" or had first responders removed it? Driver's right thumb ripped in
half, muscles sheared, hanging by a thread. Presumably, this starburst-like
formation caused the hand damage. Why didn't the airbag protect driver's
hand?
