air bags & pace makers

While driving the other day, I wondered just what would happen if my air bag in my Camry went off not far away from my pm? Have you ever wondered?... With that, I went into our clubhouse store and looked at the soft touch seat belt pad; not that it would solve all problems, but my lead areas are sensitive to the seat belt. When I clicked on the soft touch seat belt website, lo and behold, there is a new product... a bra strap pad. I ordered one of each and intend to try the bra strap pad under my swimsuit strap. It may or may not work. I am sure it will be visable, but it will be well worth it if it works and I can go back to swimming five or six days a week. aldeer

When I was about 12 hours post surgery for my pacemaker my doctor visited me. He started the conversation by saying " before you ask you cannot have a letter to excempt you from seatbelt use, and an air bag deployment will not hurt your pacemaker". We want you alive after an accident so wear your seatbelt.
I would think he had been asked that question any times.

I drive on an average ot 5 -6 hours a day and found I was sensitive to seatbelts when I first got my pacer, but find now that I don't even notice the seatbelt
Please post on how the pad works for you.
Thanks

I also ordered the soft touch seat belt pad, because I have the same problem with the seat belt irritating me. I'm anxious to get it and see how it does. I didn't order the bra strap one yet because I really don't have any problems with that. But keep us posted on how it works for you this summer.

Did it work

Interested in how you found the strap. I ordered one seat belt strap - but got an email saying it would cost more to post it then it cost - but that I could have up to four items. So I thought I would go for two seat belt straps and twp bra straps/ Have not ordered them yet because before spending that mich would want to know if they actually work?

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
