It's not. Even with their lack of concern around safety the chances of dying in a motor vehicle wreck are almost nil.

Like I said, in the West, people are so concerned about safety they loose all sense of relativeness. Saying that "wow, your car doesn't have airbags, you're as good as dead" is a ridiculous statement.

What are you talking about? Hitting your head really hard can permanently injure you, or kill you.

Sure, but what are the chances of getting into a crash where an air bag would make a difference?

A million to one? Less?

It's not that airbags aren't more safe, it's that they protect you from a risk with a very low probability.

Yet people act like you're reckless for driving a vehicle without them. It's a lack of understanding of probabilities. Humans routinely focus on a small risk while ignoring larger risks.
