Would you knowingly choose to seat yourself or your child in front of a device that explodes toward you at 200 mph with 2600 lbs. of pressure behind it?
A device that can break your neck, or cause severe injury when it deploys with such force ? A device that is so sensitive that it can go off by bumping a curb, hitting a chuckhole, or traveling over railroad tracks. A device that only gives 10% to at best 15% extra protection to you anyway. Would you consider that an extra 10% to 15% added protection is worth the possible death or injury risks associated with it's use?
Would you like to be told you have no choice whether or not you want to use such a device?
Then not be given a true picture or realistic information as to how the device works, or the risks involved with it's use; be told by the manufacturer you have to sit at least 15" away from it, hold your hands in a certain position, and have to use another elective component for this passive device to even work properly; and lastly be told you should hide your children in the back seat away from this device to be sure they aren't killed or injured by it, since it has already killed 8 children in the past 10 months.
Well, if you have AIRBAGS in your vehicle, you are already being subjected to this risk right now.
You, and especially your children are at risk of having one of these bombs in your dashboard or steering wheel explode in your face. Since 43% or more of all AIRBAG deployments cause death or injury, I hope you are one of the lucky ones who don't get killed or injured when your's goes off. My little boy wasn't so lucky, he was one of those 8 killed by an
AIRBAG.
