Imagine someone telling you to get into one of two cars. Both cars have seatbelt systems and are identical, except that only one has has an airbag system. Then they tell you that after you get into one of the cars, they will propel it at 60mph into a tree with a trunk 3 feet wide. Which car would you pick? The one with the airbag or the one without?

Re: Dont forget the AIRBAGS!!!
even if someone posted statistical data regarding lives saved with airbags, those who are against airbags are too arrogant/ignorant to read it or take it into consideration. They probably think the bigger, rigid, all-steel cars of the 1950s are safer than today's econobox with crumplezones...
But, I guess the Hans device or Hutchins device doesn't save lives either. It's just there to really make a race car driver uncomfortable...
