When we decommissioned an air-bagged steering wheel from our driving 
simulator, it required the fire dept to do it.  Hey, its an explosive! 
Over in the next town they manufacture them and they have fires and 
explosions about once a year.  Be careful, be very careful, it is not 
your father's steering wheel.
