Probably an urban myth, but I heard that when Oldmobile was first introducing air bags,
they set up a test group where some cars had them and some did not.
One customer had an accident and the air bag went off, so they got another car.
That person had an another accident and the air bag went off, so they got another car.
That person had yet an another accident and the air bag went off, and the person was disqualified from the test.
But maybe society would be better off if that first car did not have air bags at all.
As I said, probably an urban myth.
