[Healeys] Airbags (was Re: Fatal Healey Accident)

[Eric (Rick) Wilkins]

I'm no forensics expert, but from the stories and pics of this  
particular crash, it would appear as though the windscreen was torn  
off possibly at the first collision where the massive trauma rendered  
the unfortunate passengers unable to control vehicle through the  
subsequent impacts.

No airbag or collapsable steering column would have helped.
