Glad the airbag safety system works, it's the same one in my girl's accent. It's designed to do two things: Not deploy airbags that are unnecessary in the event of a minor crash (Passenger front and side and rear airbags if there's only one person in the car) as well as to prevent the horrible airbag-related injuries we have so often here with domestic vehicles with airbags where someone who's neglecting wearing their seatbelt gets launched forward and has their chest or face up against the steering wheel when the airbag goes off. I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you how nasty that can be. Also, you can see in a couple shots he pretty obviously wasn't wearing a belt. The belt itself is in position and not cut, while if he'd been wearing it the friction locks would have seized the belt in place and the belt would have been cut to get him out, or at the very least would be hanging loose in the car, not tight in between the rollers.
