Newer cars are safer not just because of airbags, more because they have more crumple zones that will take the force of collision.

exactly, new cars are designed to channel the energy away from the passengers.

i always thought the crash protection idea on Demolition Man with the foam was a rather good "future" idea.

newer cars also have side impact airbags, and those ones that drop and stop sh!t from the back flying forwards through the car. the 4motion has about 15 airbags..
