Statistically you've been in a car where the airbag wouldn't fail to deploy but instead would explode and shoot shrapnel into your face shotgun style.

All the more reason to drive defensively. As a driver, I maintain some level of control, and can choose how much additional risk I am comfortable with. As a passenger, I'm putting my trust, my future, my life into someone else's hands. If a panel fell off the side of a city bus, I would have similar concerns related to boarding one. And a bus drives really slow in the right lane, on the ground.
