Well it's a matter of preference IMO. A neighbor of mine has broken his neck twice on his seatbelt in two different accidents...(don't ask me how or why and I'm not going to debate it because I don't know the circumstance of either accident), I just think that circumstantually anything can happen in an auto accident and personally I think one should have the option to either have an airbag or not.

I am personally unhappy with airbags, I think they are more a death trap than a safety device, especially for someone of my height, being a meager 5'2" that's no leg. I'd rather just let the belt do it's job than have to worry about having my neck broken because it's impossible for me to get far enuf away from the damned airbag.
