Worth noting, the age and era of the airbag is also a big difference. I have known multiple people injured in benign accidents by early airbags, think mid-90s cars. Newer cars with smart airbags with staged charges and seat sensors seem to be far less dangerous. Unless they blast shards of metal into your face.
