Could this be dangerous?
I want to mount a FairladyZ emblem on the passenger side dash... and I was just wondering if to airbag ever came out would the emblem go flying into my passengers face? 
I wouldn't want to endanger my passenger any more then they already are

2. I have lost control on a dirty road before, rear right rim is scratched to hell but no body damage!! Scared the crap out of me!! Don't plan on doing it again!!
My mom doesn't know about it, lol and she never will!!

Wait a second...when the airbags go off the panel doesn't come off and fly at your face. It's like...hinged in a way at the top or bottom to fold out of the way of the air bag. I doubt the emblem would fall off when that happens. It would just fold out of the way along with the panel.

BTW...my parents have a Dodge Durango and the panel of the wheel splits in the middle for the airbag to come out. Right on the line in the center is a big hard plastic emblem. I don't know if maybe it's only glues to one side or what. But if that airbag went off it seems like that would hit you in the face.
