I will mention another thing, however. I had airbags deploy once, in an accident. I fishtailed on an exit ramp and wound up bouncing off the concrete railings (both of them). The second bump was the hard one, and it set off the airbags--quite uselessly, it wasn't a frontal collision and I never made contact with the bags. The thing is, I was still moving forward after the accident. But I couldn't see where I was going--the airbags were in the way. Also, the smoke was getting in my eyes. 'Airbags' is a dishonest name, they really are smokebags.

BTW, the accident did not break my windshield, but the deployment of the passenger-side airbag did....
