Have airbags on the mind. And long before the Takata fiasco there where many people injured or killed by them. I would like to know why certain pressurized gas containers are required to have a pressure relief system or valve, as well as a fairly high strength container, where an airbag inflater can be made from almost a tin can thick steel with no relief system to protect from over pressure. I also curious why such dangerous pressure vessel is allowed to be so many inches from your face, eyes etc. while you are driving a vehicle? Weren't the first airbags deployed by CO2 gas cartridges, located away from the driver?

I thought personal attacks where not allowed on this site?
 
It's not a personal attack - its commentary on your posting style and history. You contribute nothing. You do it in every thread you start. You post some question, get reasonable responses, insult the general practice of engineering, tell everyone how they did it better in 1929, and ignore all the information posted in response. Then disappear until you, as far as I can tell, decide you have some brilliant new lesson you're going to teach the engineers of the world. It's a tired bit.
 
Agreed...
