Sure - how many? Unless you have proof that in any accident airbags saved a life which wouldn't ordinarily have been spared with only lap and shoulder belts, I have a valid argument. I don't think anyone can know that for sure except in the most extreme cases. In that instance you'd hear comments like "good thing they had airbags" but who wouldn't say that - even if it wasn't necessary? Airbags deploy at what speed - 20 mph? Sometimes they don't deploy even when they should. Did anyone die as a result? How many? Whatever. Do you think you'd get a broken nose or fingers or ankles at that speed? Highly doubtful unless you weren't wearing belts. In how many cases did the person die anyway - even with airbags deployed? Maybe the latest technology bags/curtains will be better. Until then, I remain unresolved on the airbag issue.
