Air bags inflate at a speed of 100 to 300 kilometers per hour. The impact of the sudden inflation is said to be as strong as the punch of a professional boxer,

They should put a picture of Mike Tyson on the steering wheel just to remind people.

"If you crash I'm going to punch you in the face."

Maybe people would drive more safely.

Surely the punch of a pro boxer is still preferable to going through the windscreen?

Its true though. There have been deaths related to airbags.

Yeah you definitely shouldn't have small kids in the front passenger side the bag could well be worse than a crash without a bag, kids in the back seats please!

Simply, air bags should come with an on/off switch and other settings such as force of impact trigger. Let people make their own decisions. I don't want mine going off for a mere fender bender. And I might have a good reason to have my child in the front seat one day and want that thing either off or only going off in a major collision.

I wish someone had said this to Abe when he got elected, because the statement is just as true when talking about economics.
