I was in a minor mva in which the airbags both deployed. Damage to my vehicle was cosmetic but I haven't been the same since. I suffer from attacks of vertigo, dizziness, blurred vision, light hypersensitivity, loudness sensitivity and have constant tinnitus to name a few. Airbags should be optional equipment and all exsisting auto's with them should have on/off switches installed.
