"Airbags are designed, as per government regulations, to protect an AVERAGE MALE (5'8" tall, 185 lbs.) not wearing a seat belt." www.safewithin.com/autosafe/auto.air.cgi "Short adults are especially vulnerable to airbag injuries.......should be as far away as possible from the strike surface in the vehicle's interior" www.e-z.net/~ts/airbags.htm
"If you're sitting closer than ten inches to your car's airbag, you should have an on-off switch installed. Alternatively, you can have pedal extenders installed on your vehicle."

Overly aggressive air bags are the cause of many injuries and deaths. With most current air bag designs, drivers who are close to the air bag at the time of deployment are at a greater risk of serious injury than those who are seated further away. Short, portly and pregnant drivers, who sit relatively close to the air bag module in order to reach the foot pedals, are among those at increased risk. Pedal extensions are being recommended by many safety professionals as a way to increase your distance from the air bag module and enhance your safety.
