MDarringer, I think it's more of a psychological barrier. If you're spending $30k+ on a hugely depreciating liability like a car, you would expect it to function as designed, spontaneous airbag deployment not being part of that.

To add to that, anyone that slams my doors better pray the airbag knocks me out before I get to them. There is nothing that pisses me off more than having to continually tell friends, don't slam my f****** door.
