can you bottom out with air bags (driving height)

sorry for lame question.

but is it possible to bottom out struts while driving on reasonable height (2 finger gap) or even full height ? can the air bag still compress un-intentionally ? or does the car just get really bouncy ?

I usually bottom out on my upper control arm before I bottom out on the strut.
