And the numbers of accidental deployments in cars seems so small that it's not even newsworthy.
This could be a critical item to make some currently non-survivable crashes...survivable.
no, but some yutz taking down their carry on (which doesn't have to be heavy and over stuffed) and "nailing the seatbelt-mounted airbag" in just the right spot could be enough to cause a deployment....
good idea but bad concept (if that makes any sense)
