front airbags only increase your chance of surviving a crash by 1%; don't know about side airbags though. but that one percent could be the difference between death and coma/brain damage.
surviving doesn't mean you walk away from the crash unharmed
the first gen airbags were dangerous to anyone sitting too close to them(under 5'5")
that and airbags were chosen because the general public thinks 4 and 5 point harness are complicated, expensive, retarded, don't want to feel like they are strapped into a jet fighter.
they'd prefer a loaded gun pointed at them instead.
