While pulling into parking lot air bags deployed. Did not hit anything. Passenger's side window broke in the process. The driver's arm also broke. Could not steer vehicle due to air bag being wrapped around steering wheel. Vehicle hit a concrete barrier due to lack of steering. The seat belts left very bad bruises.
