Time for some bogus excuses from Honda. It's gonna be interesting.

It's definitely no explanation/excuse but you could argue that it's not exactly a driftcar. Think Komotar posted some pictures of him drifting some similar car.

Here's what I think that happened. The car 'thought' that it was going to flip over... therefore only deploying the windowairbags to protect the passengers head.

Airbags going off used to be a problem on the BMW Z3's...

Sometimes driving over a bump would launch them in your face.

That musta smart :\

What a way for Honda to make money, now the owner has to pay couple of grand to replace the airbags... not to mention the damage to his hearing.

It's just as bad or worse than the side airbags that went off in hyundai/bmw's by slamming the door.

What is the obsession with airbags anyway?
