Airbag Safety and Airbag On-Off Switches 

Airbag Safety will be a reality only when safe airbags are developed ( called "Advanced Airbags" and expected by 2012). Until then, an Airbag Switch is the only legal way to control your car's airbags. NHTSA considers airbags to be especially dangerous to children, shorter people, and those with medical conditions such as Osteoporosis or heart surgery.  Airbags injure far more people than they kill and although no official statistics are kept, emergency rooms see severe and debilitating injuries from airbags every day.
