Re: Airbags, accidents and dwarfs

[Guest guest]

I haven't had my airbags disconnected, my thinking is that going

through the window or smacking into the driver's wheel can hurt.

Do we know of anyone with dwarfism that suffered from a broken neck or

died when their airbag deployed? I keep reading stories of lives

saved, folks who walked away from accidents with their nose a bit out

of joint and I wonder why anyone would disconnect their airbag.

Doesn't the insurance world keep statistics and wouldn't this be

public information?

my arms are really short. Had a 98 Silverado driver side air bag blow

up in my face after a low speed front end collision. The bag barely

touched me. I felt the air from it and gagged half to death from the

power stuff they pack it with, but it never put a scratch on me.
