Seems like a better option than the single-mass lightweight steering wheel

Instead of an airbag, you get a huge bolt sticking straight out that will plunge into your face or chest upon impact. The NHTSA won't be happy about this and will demand that you redesign it with a smooth bolt head instead of the standard hex.

How about Plasti-dipping the head for a rubberized effect ?
