airbags and hats
Has anybody got any idea how an airbag deployment would affect a person
wearing a rigid or semi-rigid hat (such as a cowboy hat or pith helmet, that sort of hat?). |

I also think that would be the least of their problems, at that point. More importantly,how many people have you see driving while wearing pith helmets, in your entire life? Do you live in 1920's colonial africa? |

How many people have I seen wearing hats, aside from baseball caps (often turned backwards)? Very few (I've seen alot more African Americans wearing hats, though, than whites- and in some parts of the country they do wear western style hats). Hats are out of fashion with many people (they mess up your hair, or whatever), some people still wear them, though, like me. You can still buy pith helmets, and they come in different styles- not all of them are the broadly brimmed type with the round head (the stereotypical "safari" shape popular among the French and English, and later Indians and Vietnamese. Pith helmets are made from cork, though, so they are fairly stiff. |
