People who ride with their feet on the dash, should the airbag go off, the airbag could compress the torso to cause a broken back from the torso being bent



I am not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...and I slept with my feet out the window

My wife does the feet on the dash thing as well. I figure it is the least I can do for her allowing me to get the car....
