I am a deputy sheriff and was driving a 2006 chevy Impala when I lost control of the vehicle ending up in a ditch. During the collision my airbag deployed fracturing my sternum from top to bottom along with breaking a rib. Since the collision I received my mri result finding I also have two compacted disks in my neck and a compacted disk in my lower back. I am an average size man 5'9" tall 190 pounds very physically active and was wearing my seat belt and a bullet proof vest. The "black box" in the vehicle showed the impact was at 11 mph. According to my doctor the break to my sternum would take a massive force which was also verified by my pulmonary specialist. . I have investigated hundreds of motor vehicle accidents as a peace officer and this is the first time I heard of an airbag breaking someone's sternum or rib(s). I strongly feel if a elderly person, teenager, woman or short individual would more seriously be injured if they receive the impact I did.
