    Excellent product idea, inspires me for some others:

    Punisher airbag-knife, specially designed to deflate those pesky government-mandated airbags. Did you know airbags kill people sometimes? Protect yourself by getting rid of them!

    Punisher-themed electric bathtub hot dog grill, because it’s my God given right to enjoy an American classic whenever and wherever I feel like it.

    Punisher-themed fire alarm sound insulating boxes. Pairs great with the electric bathtub hot dog grill

      Did you know airbags kill people sometimes?

      Did you know unbuckled seatbelts are supposed to disable or reduce the action of airbags? Because if you crash hard enough to trigger the airbags, the lack of a seatbelt may make impact with the airbag WORSE than impact with the steering wheel. This is quite the killer device.

        I haven’t checked the validity of your statement, but I’d guess this is because airbags are calibrated to go off with the assumption that the occupant is wearing a seatbelt. Airbags should only activate if a collision is hard enough that a person wearing a seatbelt is likely to impact the inside of the car. Without a seatbelt you will not only injure yourself bouncing around the car on a much lower collision speed, but also likely not be in a position the airbag expects you to be when it activates.
