Default Re: Cost of gas where you live

Seatbelts in vehicles that are fitted with airbags are dangerous.

A seatbelt will stop the body flying forward but the head still shoots forward and hits the airbag which is being blown towards it, causing twice the impact.

With the advances in Airbag technology, seatbelts should be scrapped.
A body length airbag should inflate from the steering wheel, down the steering column and into the footspace to protect the legs.
This, together with the side impact airbags should provide complete protection in a smash!

And nobody then has to wear a seatbelt, yahoo!!!
