Airbag crumpled and creased - should I drive on it?

Hi! So my rear suspension airbag accidentally popped out (that's another long story). It's stretched out, and I can't fold it back over itself neatly by hand. I can shove it in place, but it's too long so even though the axle is at full droop the airbag is sitting in there quite messily. Soooooo..... do I just inflate it and drive a bit, and hope it gets back into its proper shape?

Need to remove air from the bag to put it back into shape. I would suggest replacement bags ($400 a pair from partsouq or amayama) would be a smart move.

I hope I don't need a new airbag, this one is brand new :'(

You were right, I did need to pull it off. I sat on the floor with it, put it between my legs and gave it a good pull, and happy days! It's back in now, straight and firm. Thank you!
