Little 16 year old girl thought it more inportant to be cell phone talkin rather than stopping for a stop sign, hit her doing 30 mph., my air bags did not deploy, but great brakes did slow me enough to just hit her in rear quarter, saving her life. Did $15,000 damages to the SLK and the seat belts saved me any injury. Tell your Mom, air bags only work if they WORK. However, if the bags had blown, car would have been considered a total. Was repaired expertly, and I am still enjoying it. Therefore- moral, electrical/mechanical devices can not be relied on, but human/mechanical devices (if used) can. Seat belts in use in USA since 1956 HAVE saved many lives and injuries.

Run-Em
