Whats the point of airbags...?

[Cattlegod]

This and This is why.

I don't know about you, but it looks like it will hurt a lot more with just the seatbelt.

If you can't understand that then you are just retarded. And yes, those tests did have the seatbelt on.

Thats what seatbelts are for.

a seatbelt keeps you from flying around, and an airbag keeps you from impact with the steering wheel or dashboard.

????

what are you confused about?

Last time I checked, when I stopped suddenly, I don't remember my face getting even slightly close to the dash board, what prevented me from this? It's called the seatbelt.

Now go drive into a brick wall at 50 and report back.

Better yet, do so without an airbag or a seatbelt. That'll fix the problem we're having here.

Airbags exist to make cars safer for tall people at all speeds, and safer for short people above ~45mph or so.

Funniest thread in a while.

As many have mentioned the seatbelt only keeps you in place, but it doesn't stop the steering wheel cave in towards you in case of a head-on collision. Would you rather meet steel headfirst, or a firm pillow? THINK?! It doesn't matter if you are in a 50 mph / 80 mph collision, the difference is being severely hurt, or dead on impact. which one do you choose? really..

You've yet to explain why there is a passenger airbag.

By the looks of the video, it would appear the seatbelt isn't doing it's job... I've yet to get an answer on the reason why there is a passenger airbag... If the seatbelt was doing it's job, the person's face wouldn't have gone into the steering wheel.

Well, the last time I checked, the dashboard isn't any cushier than the steering wheel.

An abrupt meeting with parts of your vehicle is rather unhealthy, but so is pulling your body to a complete stop. You can't have a seatbelt hold you without any give, cause too much internal damage. The seatbelt's job is to hold contain you within the vehicle, preventing you from flying out of the vehicle and having a chat with Mr. Pavement. It is also not the job of the seatbelt to prevent the entire engine and assembly from moving into the passenger cab.

The dashboard is significantly farther away than the steering wheel. If your seat is far enough away from the dash and steering wheel, it shouldn't really matter anyways..

He's a troll. Please don't feed the trolls.

Wow.... you know, maybe this genius on an internet message board is right and the tens of thousands of engineers and scientists who study these safety features are wrong!

Philippine Mango, since you're obviously either stupid, (or just a troll) let me provide you with some links to read. Maybe you can draw your own conclusion about the value of airbags, and why they are in cars...

And if your brain was doing its job, you wouldn't be on here asking stupid questions.

Side impact airbags are even more useful, as no seatbelt is going to stop your head from slamming into your window in a side impact collision.

I think it's going to be government mandated for all cars to have side airbags in the near future. My company makes some of the tubes to inflate the side air bags for a major supplier and they are a bitch about the tolerances on them! :roll:
