Just my personal opinion for my own safety only. I'd rather wear the seat
belt and have the airbag removed. Somehow I can visualize the airbag
embedding my glasses permanently into my face. Yeah... the more I think
about it.. the more I hate it. I know for a fact that my seatbelt saved me
from going thru my windshield when I had my accident with the '95 Dak, when
I was pushed into the telephone poll. I was hit with enough force to have
massive bruising everywhere the seatbelt touched me, but I was lucky enough
that the impact hit at such a point that the airbag didn't deploy. I am
soooo very grateful for that it didn't deploy and that I had my seatbelt on.
The impact still jostled me around enough that the console came lose. Got
shivers just remembering that day. Mind you... on really bad back pain
days, I have fleeting thoughts of how much less painful it would have been
to have not survived it. But those are just random passing thoughts even
though I'm pretty sure there are people out there that may be wishing the
same thing... lol... but too bad.. I'm still here... muwhahahahahahahaha.
