The current Toyota FJ Cruiser (2007-present) has some very large roof airbag gas inflator. Take a look at the images .....

The inflators are mounted on the roof in the center over the headrest. Would you look there for a stored gas inflator?

The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Body Structure is a strong, lightweight Unibody is formed by welding high-strength steel sheet metal stampings to form a single structure. But the big story of this vehicle is the side airbag.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class is a rigid uni-body structure that encircles the passenger cabin in a highly protective network of ultra-high and high-strength steel, magnesium reinforcements and triple-layer construction of all eight roof pillars. Advanced crumple zones and subframe-mounting of the axles help to divert impact forces away from the passenger compartment.

The body structure of the all-new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic sedan and hatchback. Nearly 60 percent of the body structure, as well as the four-mount hydro-formed engine cradle, use high-strength steel. Ultra-high-strength steel is strategically integrated in the forward portion of the rockers and the center cross bar.

So you cannot get a late model vehicle with all the new airbags with the hidden stored gas inflators. Not to mention all the Ultra-High Strength Steel (UHSS) used in the body structures. No problem! Moditech has created a very simple training tool that can be used as an evolution evolves.

So all the hype about electric cars is meant to scare us during an extrication? What do you know about the Chevrolet Volt and Opel/Vauxhall Ampera? General Motors and a group spun off the NFPA, behind the Electric Vehicle Safety Training project have spent a good amount of money educating and making training materials available to anyone with a computer and internet access.

More airbags!!!! At least these airbags are located in the seats so we know where the bags are! These front seat center mounted airbags could help save more lives. What GM vehicles will introduce the auto industry’s first front-center air bag?
