HaGomel After a Car Accident
Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi,
On Monday we were in a car accident and all the airbags in the car deployed.
Baruch Hashem, my wife, my child, and I came out unharmed, except for a few bruises.
I wanted to clarify whether we need to recite the blessing of “HaGomel.”
Thank you.

Answer
Shalom u'vrachah.
You need to recite HaGomel.
Since this was an extremely strong impact, which caused the airbags to inflate, there was certainly danger involved.
