I agree with xplosv57. If she's sitting close enough for the steering wheel to hit it before the pre-tensioners have an effect then she's lucky the air bag didn't go off.
The airbag initially fills with a gas that is extremely hot but cools extremely quickly. If she hits the bag before its fully deployed she'll be getting a face full extremely hot gas which will definately cause more pain then taking a steering wheel in the chest.
Also, if she hit her chest on the wheel she should be capable of moving the chair back. i'd be more worried about her head hitting the windscreen if she's THAT close.
Anyway, good to hear that she's ok. Still a painful experience both emotionally and physically but at the end of the day she's still alive and thats all that matters.
Post some pics asap.

If they Fix it, It will take 4-6 weeks.
But the Passenger Door is shifted back as well.
So Fingers Crossed its OK.
But I'm Glad my Mum was OK, Now she is in Hella Pain.
It'll buff right out
So not cool... I didn't think it was that bad until i saw the pics... GEEEEZZZ,
Glad that your mother is okay.
damn that fender looks like crumpled up paper.
If the door is moved back the car may havea bent chassis.
Glad to hear your mum will be okay. Could have been so much worse.
Sentimental hurts.

Glad to hear your mum is ok! My sister had the same kind of accident about 3 weeks ago in her Lancer. But they were hit on the drivers side, both front airbags went off. $11500 damage the insurance company is going to fix it. She has deceided to trade it in when she gets it back, on an AH SRi 5 door (she likes my car so much, but needs an auto).
Hope they dont fix your mum's car, bacause you will always wonder if something is on the verge of breaking...
It's RED and it goes PPHSSSSSAnd as good as gone.....
hey matey, hope your mum has a speedy recovery! cars can be fixed or replaced...
better the airbags didnt deploy as they tend to cause more injuries unless its a head-on collision.
might be better to get a new car mate, as which a bent chassis, you dont know how well they can straighten it..

Thanks for ya Kind Messages Everyone.
I hope they write it off, As I'm a Spraypainter by Trade I can see that it will be hard to fix. Even the Rear Bar on the Left looks like its moved as well.
I was expecting it to be bad considering a Barina hitting a Truck @ 50km/h.
Mums hoping if it does get written off. Thats if insurance pays enough to get atleast another Barina same as she has, NOWAY is she getting a TK Korean Sh*tbox.
If she did the same thing in a TK barina then she would definately be in more serious state right now.
