Its more interesting than that. An airbag can also possibly kill you
(especially in the US).  Airbags were indeed designed as a supplementary
restraint to be used in conjunction with seat belts. However, in the US
seat belt use is not/was not mandated by law, which meant that the
calibration and violence of the airbag deployment is different.

In countries where seat belt installation and useage is mandated by law
airbags are safer.
