In the write up regarding the 430 Ferrari indicates that the stiffness of the chassis is so good that they opted NOT to install side airbags.



Was that for real? what does the airbag have to do with the chassis stiffness? have they made the chasis and whole cabin so soft and puffy that don't smash your head when you hit it or when a car smashes into your door? guess since the chasis is so stiff... seatbelts aren't needed then either?

Not having full set of airbags is suicidal and just darn stupid nowadays... then again we hop on sportbikes that don't even have a chasis in the first place (nor elec aids, nor seatbelts or airbags, nor a decent contact patch) combined savage performance to get you in trouble compared to cars and don't even think twice about it
