I was in a collision that crunched the driver side of my car and the front.
Airbag went off, saved me from the windshield and was replaced along with the
panels when the insurance company had the car fixed.

My mom was in a very similar accident a few years ago. Some idiot kid
triggered a multicar collision that resulted in several totalled cars
including hers.
The one thing that saved her life and saved her from serious injury
was the air bag system.

re resp:253: The person who decided the car should be totalled told me
he'd counted $5500 in damage before he stopped. About $1500 of that
must have been the airbag. I'm not much interested in putting $4000
or more into a 1992 Taurus with 140,000 miles.
I'd be interested in a source for resp:251, too, if it's available and
you don't mind, Rane. I'm inclined to believe you on statistics...
but am also inclined to distrust airbags because they *are* such a
danger to children and small adults. Whether they're a good thing
overall or not, the fact is, the risk to my son goes up a lot if he
rides in the front seat of a car that has an airbag, compared to one
that does not have one.

I thought happyboy was asking for a source about the futility of deer
whistles.

Isn't the back seat safer to ride in, with or without airbags?

Re #262:
"We want to make sure parents are clear: Old air bag, new air bag, no
air bag, kids are safer in the back seat properly restrained," said
Ellen Engleman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Had cat-owner friends staying here over the weekend, and my nose started
running. All those years of being a cat owner... and I always had a slightly
runny nose. Huh.

IBB we just got a call from the Drs office. Staci has mono. Now I have to
get STeve and Damon in to get checked (I probably won't need to be checked,
I had it in high school). And I get to figure out how to keep HER rest. She
is bummed because Huron Players (she does backstage tech stuff) is getting
ready to start rehersal and set up for theater competition.

We kind of wondered when she would get it. Seven of her friends have had or
have it during the last few months. The friends that we refer to the cuddle
puddle, rather than the "Hi, how are you, we should get together for a movie
sometime" friends. I knew it was just a matter of time, but hoped...
