And now cars have multiple airbags in different places, yes they can save lives, they can also cause all sorts of injuries.

It is good you bring up takata, since they are a huge chunk of airbags and no one knows how many broken ones are in cars. There is a good chance any car you are in has a faulty takata airbag. That in itself is enough of an issue for me to want to sell them all off.

What is really amazing is there is absolutely no stats about airbag deaths released for 2007 and after. Sounds like someone is trying to make sure no one can fight the narrative whatsoever.

Anything that is government mandated is pure evil. I'm betting someone is getting massive payments because airbags are mandated.
Ahhhh conspiracy theory so no doubt I am wasting my time here.
The fact that airbags save lives is very well documented no matter what the anti safety device league may try to say.

There were 42 million potentially defective airbags which resulted in 11 fatalities and 142 injuries. How many tens or hundreds of thousands of people are still alive because it did work properly?

All the studies and tests are NOT done around one body type. They are tested on a very wide range of types. I have watched it done with my own two eyes so the anti bag propaganda is wasted on me.

If you are in an accident that is serious enough to deploy an airbag then yes of course you will be injured by the airbag. Without it you would be even more seriously injured or dead. To say airbags injure people in accidents is a ridiculous comment.
