A freind of mine wife is a head nurse at our main hospatil ,,, She has seen many injury's caused by air bags...

Just like Japanese roll out seat belts,,,I know one guy that had 170 stichs in his face when someone pulled out on him and his Toyota seat belt didnt work, he face planted the windowscreen..In a Toyota Hiace van..

Some saftey laws are pure rubbish..
Take bicycle helemts...Thats a Joke,,, over 70% of cycle injurys are to the chest and back(upper body) , Not ya head..(thats also from the USA )

Now hears anther fact ,,,They say dont drink and drive,,sounds like it makes sence A.. But 80% of car crashs are caused by sober drivers..

Work that out.....

NZ, Auckland 2005 has a high court ruling now on cycle helmets......If you say carnt buy one to fit ya head then thats fine you dont need to wear one..
A case was thrown out about 3 months ago, the judge laughed...
I cycle helmet you pay $45 bucks for costs $3 in China...ex the factory...same with the likes of a Bell branded one,, same factory but a extra $50 for the name..or sticker..

Did you know the NZ/AUS saftey sicker in a bicycle helmet cost $25....yes just for the sticker,,,Thats why know one has them anymore and we just sell German/EURO saftey STD helmets..

"Since 1990, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has recorded 175 fatalities as a result of an air bag deployment. To date, 104 of these deaths have been children, while the remaining 71 have been adults. With more than 3.3 million air bag deployments and more than 6,377 lives saved and countless injuries prevented, the benefits of air bags are dramatic. Still, these 175 fatalities should be examined. (See State-by-State breakdown)" <http://www.nsc.org/partners/state.htm>

Thats for america, cant see the rest of the world having a huge increase in airbag deaths vs saved...

But not if you sat in the seat.
Plus think about it,,If you rammed a brick wall that hard for the colum to go thru ya cheast cos ya sitting in the door frame,, you would have to be doing 200Mph.... Now if the colum ant on a angle why does the uni in the collapsable joint wear out?.
More people die from air bags than they save... Know fact..
small bang in supermarket carpark, air bag goes off and push's ya nose into your brain..

    Its called a death spear because its a solid bar pointed at your
    stomach/chest area. If you have a head on crash you can be impaled
    by the non collapsable column can be driven towards you as the
    front crumples. Also the reason we now have air bags in the
    steering wheel.

            G’day all

            I am strengthening my old group G P510 shell and I am
            going to get all the fabrication done whilst on the
            rotisserie, for ease of planning and fitting. The steering
            column I have always used is a spear type, connected into
            the steering box. I plan to fit an inline steering
            quickener in the column and hence wouldn’t mind a
            collapsible with couplings to the steering box.

            Has anyone had any experience in sourcing a collapsible
            column that has coupling connections to the steering box?

            Thanks

            Barney
