Air bags can only ever be of use as long as the body shell retains most if it's original shape. In a high speed crash (60mph+) the body shell retains very little of it's original shape - it deforms hugely. Most of the damage to the occupants is due to impact with bits of deformed car body coming at them from different directions. An airbag is of little use [1]. I've been unable to find a single comprehensive study which proves that airbags are of any real value if [a] you're travelling over 30mph and [b] you're wearing a belt. [1] This is all based on stuff I've read, and sensible reasoning, not first-hand experience. Happy to be corrected. -- Grunff
