While you are 50% more likely to hurt your arms in a vehicle with airbags you are half as likely to sustain a serious head injury over just the seatbelt. While on average, those 2 figures basically cancel themselves out, making it appear that airbags provide no significant gain over seatbelts, in reality, I'd much rather have a broken arm than a broken neck or skull.

True, a broken arm will heal and just make life a tad more difficult for a few months. A broken skull/neck, if it doesn't kill you, can make you a vegi for the rest of your life.
