You must not watch the news.

This is from the NHTSA website:

"The vast majority of people can benefit greatly from an air bag, and can reduce any risk of air bag contact injuries just by buckling up on every trip and properly restraining children 12 and under in a rear seat. Almost all air bag-related deaths have involved unrestrained or improperly restrained occupants. Since the combination of an air bag and a safety belt reduces the risk of serious head injury by 83 percent, consumers are urged to carefully consider their needs prior to installing an on/off switch."

Even if *you've* never heard of it, it still may exist within the realm of possible. As for me, I'll take my 83% reduction in the possibility of head injury by KEEPING my stock steering wheel. There are other options. See member "Aspendog" for recovered stock wheels. Very nice...
