A woman who came out of a crash with airbags in her face says she was told something afterward that she had never heard before: Anywhere an airbag touched her skin needed to be rinsed with water for at least 15 minutes—and quickly.
Her explanation of why has been watched more than 707,700 times, and the medical literature largely backs it up.
Mads (@hertraline), whose channel otherwise runs to stray thoughts from her life, posted the two-minute, 12-second video.
"This is an important car safety PSA that I really feel, like, should be common knowledge, but I don't think it is, because I had never heard this before," she says. She adds one caveat early: "I cannot answer questions about this for legal reasons; I'm so sorry."
