I remember them being added because seat belts were not as safe as they

Not to mention is an exothermic chemical reaction (people have been
burned) and the crap that comes out when they deflate have been
reported to give some victims chronic respiratory problems because
they inhaled at the wrong time. There have been other injuries caused
by them as well.
