Hi all I have had the joy of driving my c2 996 for aprox 7 months and i truly love this car, can`t wait till I can afford a 997. I was pulling out of a parking space last week and drove less than 20 feet and hit a concret light post that I did not see. I had to be doing less than 5mph. It felt like tha car had been hit with a bom as the airgags deployed. As a result the drivers airbag blew my hand off steering wheel and my hand smashed the windscreen. My hand is in agony and my forearm is all burnt by the airbag.

I got out of tha car not knowing what happned, thinking the car was totaled only to find the front bumper slightly damaged. The car is in the body shop and I will have an estimats next week.

My concern is that the airbags should not have deployed. Surley there is a minimum speed you must reach before they deploy. As it turned out they have caused me more medical problems and I would rather they did not deploy!

Looking forward to everyones thoughts and if I should have the local dealership check the airbag system?
