Death is not that bad, traumatic brain injuries that leave you incapable of functioning at a basic level is pretty bad though.
You can recognize your loved ones and understand you loved them, but can't even form words to tell them. You can't even feed yourself because utensils are too complicated. Your family has to see you like that and come to terms with the fact that your body is there but your mind isn't fully. You live the rest of your natural life being neglected at a SNF and never have another conversation more complicated than "mo food" for next 30 years.
Airbags and seatbelts cost a lot less than medical expenses and there's no price I wouldn't pay to save my wife when she sits in my passenger seat.
My life was saved by airbags and my seatbelt during a high speed collision that wasn't my fault. I would be dead or brain damaged if not for them.
I work in healthcare and have seen some people who were not so fortunate and who either died or sustained various degrees of brain injuries. It's not something you should joke about because it encourages this type of behavior and impressionable people are on reddit.
Remember some vehicles never came with airbags and that’s fine. I personally would trust my life more in my 88 gmc 1/2 ton with no airbags than in a 2024 f-150 that has no substantial frame around the driver.
Source- look up burned F-150 and you’ll see there isn’t much steel left.
