What owners wrote
Violent deployment of air bag caused friction/chemical burns to passenger face, smashed passenger windshield, blew out passenger side window, driver sustained burns on the thumbs.
At approx 4:30 pm 10/02/2011 while traveling south on hunziker st. Near wall st. Tigard, or 30-35 MPH. I had to center a piece of debris in the road and it struck and punctured the engine oilpan. This contact deployed both airbags which intern busted the windshield / knocked out my radio, vent louvers and rearview mirror. Research via the internet found this to be an issue with 95 miatas.
