This is car air bags. How many people have car air bags killed and crippled to make us safer?
If you wear your seat belt and if the car is well built, you will survive a wreck. I've survived over a dozen, including 4 deer collisions, a few high speed crashes when people ran stop signs and such on me, and a rollover in the Army.
If I'd had an air bag with the last deer, it would have deployed, blocked my vision and disabled my ability to steer, and I would have gone off the embankment into a tree after it had deflated, and I'd be dead or paralyzed. Instead I hit bambi solid at 70mph and launched him clear, steered on, and drove home. This was a 2000lb toyota corolla and I still drive it.
Who do you write to at NFPA to oppose this? Matt
