So how safe are airbags? Since the government instituted a law that mandates all new cars sold in the United States must come equipped with these safety measures, and we all know that the only reason legislation ever gets signed into law in America is because our lawmakers have only our best interests at heart and certainly aren't swayed into passing unnecessary laws just to enrich the bank accounts of businesses, surely automobile airbags must be saving millions of lives every day, right? A 2003 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concluded that airbags in cars had saved about 3500 lives that would otherwise have been lost. That in itself is not a particularly impressive figure, especially when one considers the amount added to the price of tag of a new simply because Congress gave in to lobbyists from the airbag producing industry, but when you toss in the fact that in the same study the NHTSA found that airbags killed 113 people who would otherwise not have been killed can only lead one to the conclusion that just as the government engendered an unnecessary fear of terrorists among us, so have they engendered undue fears of dying in an automobile accident unless one's vehicle comes equipped with an exploding marshmallow.
