Airbag Igniter - anyone had problems with them?

[Skred]

Per a previous post my airbag warning light among others are on. To resolve ross-tech suggests to examine the airbag igniter.
Has anyone examined one before or know how fragile or likely the thing is to blow up in my face?

I would leave it well alone to be honest.

As above, I wouldn't go near it.....unless you want this to happen to your face!

Yes i'm aware the video is a repost but it cracks me up so much that it's worth it!

Whoah. Right well now i'm in two minds about exploring. But I hear that disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes disables it. That said my head will strongly be out of the way. At all times. Judgement permitting haha

I would still not be messing with it, if it is faulty then replace it.
