It would be like the guy who pulls drowned bodies out of rivers disabling the seatbelts on his car because of how often he sees people who were trapped by their seatbelts underwater. Of course, since thats his job of course that is all he sees. peace, sam

phidauex,
I agree that the eye surgeons opinion is skewed by his perspective. I admit to not liking airbags for the reasons the surgeon stated and others as well. I think that the automakers use airbags as a sales tool to show how "safe" their cars are. I still would prefer to be in a MB without an airbag than a Kia with one. IMHO airbags are used to make crappy car designs appear safer than they are. Airbags have their place but they shouldn't be a substitute for a good strong vehicle. RT

Seen some of those mercedes smart cars? They have some sort of egg-shell shape to them that is apparently quite rigid given their size. |
