Due to the far higher number of vehicle occupants not wearing seatbelts in the US, vehicle manufacturers have had to use more explosive, faster reacting airbags to ensure that they deploy quickly enough to protect un-restrained occupants. As a result, this has led to a far higher number of instances where severe injury and death has been "caused" by airbag deployment.
This aspect and the additional cost to society to treat and rehabilitate these self-righteous rights activists, should be more than enough reason to substatiate the need to legislate such rules.
