Yet Another Driving Story
My eldest son (just turned 4) has managed to scare the living shit out of us on a couple of occasions. Once when my wife was driving, and he was in the front passenger seat, he grabbed hold of the gear stick and managed to put the car in neutral. We were going about 60mph at the time. The gears made a horrible scronching sound and wife made the following noise:

"Whatthebloodyfuckingshitdidyoujustdo!!!!!"

The second time, I was driving, going about 70mph, and he was in the back seat.

"Mummy, why is the door open?"

We'd forgotten to put the child lock on and the back passenger door was flapping gently in the breeze.

Fortunately, on both occasions we managed to take evasive action and get things under control.

That crunching sound
was your wife trying to put it back in gear without the clutch.

Or the airbag might do him a mischief

Sounds more like...
... you just didn't shut the door.
"Child locks" are the stupidest idea ever.
