Things that can happen when turning the steering wheel the wrong way if the airbag deploys.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Airbag

In this video, you will learn something that few may know, but it is very important to understand as it can prevent trouble, expenses, and especially save your life. If you are steering with your hands above the steering wheel, as shown by the YouTuber, and the airbag happens to deploy at that moment, think about what could happen to your hand and wrist. Avoid making that manoeuvre that passes your hands and arms over the airbag module, as you do not know what could happen next. The airbag module is not designed to protect your hands and arms, but rather your torso and face: it can only cause damage to these.
