The whole panel in the centre of the steering wheel pops open while staying attached to the steering wheel. The force of the airbag opening deploying forces the panel to open up and hinge out of the way.
The only time you might get hit by debris is from a defective Takata airbag deploying.

Thanks, this was exactly the information I was looking for.
I had one of those Takata airbags a few BMWs ago so I probably still have some subconscious concerns of flying shrapnel at any given time!
