I was under the impression that the whole point of airbags was that they were entirely passive and so would protect people who refuse to wear seatbelts. If lap belts are needed, why not provide a three-point belt and dispense with the airbag? If there are no lap belts, the airbag isn't going to be much good in a rollover or side impact. I don't mind if airbags are available as an option, but I don't want to pay for them. I always wear my 3-point lap/shoulder belt. Dave Martindale, {allegra, decvax!watmath}!watcgl!dmmartindale
