The airbag comment is interesting.
Several good quality studies have looked at the impact of airbags on deaths in motor vehicle accidents. The interesting statistics have to do with the use of seatbelts. Turns out that seatbelts are responsible for the reduction in deaths, not airbags. When not wearing seatbelts the airbags made no reduction in deaths. |

Airbags may be good for the first hit, but they're single use......so when you hit something, and THEN another thing, you're toast since the airbag has already been deployed.
As I stated before, I have no issues with chutes. Never needed one, glad I had it in competitions. I will NOT frown on someone that wants one. Some ships make it a royal PITA to wear. |
