that's exactly what it feels like, too. i had my one and only accident in the corsica (RIP) and the driver's airbag went off. i had my coffee cup ripped out of my hand and hot coffee all down my leg. i felt like i had just been punched in the face by a heavyweight boxer. all it did was piss me off. if i get a car that has the driver airbag in it, i think i will replace the steering wheel with one of those from Grant. neither the '69 nor the '87 have airbags - just the way i like it.
as for them saving more lives being the reason why they are in the car, i would argue that point. not everything in a car is there to save your life in an accident. why would an airbag be any different? i look at it the same as i do a cupholder - one of those recent advances in vehicle design, but NOT necessary in the least.
