I'm saying two things:
If you wear your seatbelt correctly, your chances of dying or severe injury in an accident decrease precipitously. Wearing one while in a car is your choice, just like riding a motorcycle with or without a helmet. If you choose poorly, that's on you.
Airbags do little or nothing to change that. They are also dangerous. Safety devices shouldn't need warning signs and labels telling you the dangers of the safety device.
I will add, that I believe in "Safety Third." That's the idea that you are personally responsible for your safety, not anyone else. When the government steps in and forces you to be 'safe' they are overreaching. So long as your lack of attention to safety isn't impacting others, you should have the right to kill yourself off in some way that gets you a Darwin Award.
The way I see it, that's how nature intended things to be. If you are too stupid to act safely, removing yourself from the gene pool is good for humanity. It's bad for humanity to protect the stupid from themselves.

Are Airbags Dangerous? (And Can They Kill You?)

In a 2017 report, the United State’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that almost 300 deaths were caused by front airbag deployment in low-speed crashes during 1990-2008.

Below are the most common types of airbag injuries:
Burns to arms, hands and chest
Damage to the lungs
Abrasions to the upper part of the body
Spine injuries
Bone fractures
Traumatic brain injuries
Eye injuries

The number one tip for airbag safety for short drivers is keeping a safe distance from the air-bag in their steering wheel. NHTSA recommends that there be 10 inches between the air-bag cover and a driver’s breastbone. This is best achieved by adjusting your seat position or through the use of pedal extensions.

Are airbags safe or dangerous in case of accident?

Their answer is Yes, they can be dangerous.
Then vote in new people
They never tell you the full story they are corrupt politicians
I am sure democrtats love the control the government has over you and do not care how many rights and freedoms the government takes away
"Here is a few million dollars, see if you can design a safer car, and get back to us if you do." That is basically what is being said, and it does not seem very corrupt to me. It is a bit directionless, but if it bares fruit, that is good.
Walt, give me a million dollars. I will design a new car. I will get back to you if I do. Good bye.
I somehow doubt you have the expertise to do anything. And your last two sentences cement my doubt, because you do not even seem to realize that data reporting is required.
Of course results are required, even if all failures.
Yes, that is the way science and engineering work. In fact, failure is not really even failure, it is a successful proof that something does not work.
I really do not think RB understands how development works. New things just appear at local stores, and he thinks it is magic.
OK, clearly you have missed the point. Disproving a hypothesis is not a failure, it is a success.
I understand you are a fucking ignoramus.

Yes they are dangerous, and there's a reason I disconnected the fuse for mine in my vehicle. I was working at a restaurant and this lady who was a regular was turning into the parking lot and got lightly T-boned, very low impact, under 10 MPH. She was in a convertible car, and it all
happened right in front of me because I out front doing..something. So she takes a breath and turns to me and goes to say something, and POW! The airbag hits her right in the face. Next thing I know she's getting hauled off on a gurney. That's fucked up.
The accident was well over with and that airbag hurt her pretty bad.

One of the airbag factories used to be in Mesa. It regularly detonated and had fires. There were like a dozen worker deaths making the damn things there. After all, they are essentially an explosive device.
I've seen several low speed accidents where people had airbags deploy on them. All of their injuries came from the airbag. Had they just had their seatbelt, they'd of been fine.
A local reporter was doing a story on the airbag plant a few years back and he was allowed to sit in a test car and have an airbag deployed on him. They made him wear safety glasses for this! The airbag went off. It broke his safety glasses cutting his face and knocked him nearly unconscious. It took him, by his estimation, nearly 15 minutes to recover from the impact and he was advised to go to a hospital or doctor for examination. That was sitting in a non-moving car!
The things are dangerous and can be deadly.
No, my comment went right over your head, because YOU are a fucking ignoramus. Driving is not a right. Get it, hammerhead?
