To be able to do their job, air bags has to inflate really, really quick. This means that the bag will pop open with quite a snap.
Now, the whole idea of the air bag system is that the human should be some distance away when the airbag is first inflated, and not get in contact with the bag until it's already started deflating a little, when it's able to provide a soft(er) landing. And this is what happens if you're sitting upright in the seat as the bag deploys.
But if you're not in the expected position when the bag deploys, you can get hit by the full force of the speedy inflation instead, which can actually harm you.
On top of that, there's a bit of a noise and some fumes released as the bag is inflated, and these aren't that nice either. Expect some ringing in the ears, sore throat and irritated eyes, if you're closely exposed to a deploying air bag.
Still, it's better than slamming full force into the steering wheel with your chest/face.
