did you know....

in 1999 models and newer, if the front passenger or driver are not wearing their seatbelt, the front airbags require less of an impact to inflate? Such as, if you're wearing your seatbelt and you hit a tree at 15 mph, it might not come out, but if you're not and you hit it at 10, it would.

As for the death statistics suddenly jumping up on the 240, it could be attributed to anythings. One that comes to mind is the side impact from an SUV, which has been shown to be more likely fatal (in the case of no side airbags, which the 240 does not have, as it was halted in 1993) than a side impact from another car or a minivan even. I've also noticed drivers getting progressively worse, but maybe that's just me...
