    Yeah the only thing worse than an air bag would be an 18 year old air bag.

    it's better to sit up close for better control of the car so you wont need an airbag

    I hear smashing your head into a steering wheel or window can also cause glaucoma . I would have a 100MPH balloon hit me in the head, rather then a hard piece of plastic at 100MPH. That guy just wants to sue somebody .

    its not the impact that causes claucoma.

    Airbags have a poisoness powder in them that is harmfull if swalled/injested in any orphis of your body... after i got in an accident with airbags, my eyes burned so bad for 4-5 hours that i couldnt even open them. My mouth had a nasty taste in it, nothing good about it.

    Why the fuck they have a harmfull powder inside airbags is beyond me, but they do... maybe its changed on newer vehicles?

    im not sure if many of you noticed this or not, but airbags tend to have SRS tags and writing on them. its a supplemental restraint system. in no way was it meant to be the primary means of saving a life, its actually secondary. the primary means is a seatbelt. if you manage to lock up a seatbelt, and it gets ripped apart from too much force, then you have an airbag to save you.

    air bags save lives, period

    Seat belts are intended to keep you in the seat. If you are hit by another car or have to turn suddenley to aviod hazzard, you want to be able to control the car and you cant do that if you are not in the driver seat anymore.
    Air bags are intended to keep your anatomical placement OEM.

    The seat belts are a part of the SRS system in newer cars.
