jimi,

        i have been in 5 accidents in my life, one of which had an airbag.
The accident that i was hurt the most in, was the only one that the airbag.
The airbag compressed my glasses into the bridge of my nose and basically
snapped the bridge in two.  it also tore open both of lips, and gave me one
hell of a "carpet" type burn on my forehead.  in my view, i would rather not
have the damn airbags.
