That’s very very stupid, I never heard about anyone getting hurt by the glasses because of the airbag.
using just 10 seconds looking it up, reveals that glasses do not significantly increase risk of eye injury from airbags.
And remember in the context of research significantly means it is not statistically significant, meaning the number is so small it’s within statistical error.
So disabling the airbag that demonstrably saves lives, to avoid a statistically non existent danger, is about as moronic as it gets.

You’ve never worn glasses have you?
Them bitches will definitely etch a hole in your face or take out an eyeball…

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12, and I’ve had a car and drivers license for decades.
Why do you keep trusting your own mistaken logic over the statistics? Why don’t you look it up for yourself?
You are the one that sounds like you are not wearing glasses, I’ve never heard anyone using glasses having similar fears you have.
Your fear is paranoid and delusional. Let’s hear it, which eyeball was taken out by the glasses on who?
I’ve been in numerous accidents wearing glasses, on bicycle, kayaking and even a pretty serious one in a car once. I’ve never been hurt by it, I’ve only had to replace the sometimes, which is of course annoying and expensive. And I’ve also never heard about either friends or family or statistics that say there’s an actual problem wearing glasses in accidents.

I do not need to look it up for myself. I’ve experienced it. Just slightly different context.
Almost lost an eye at age 12, almost lost my mom at age 2…

Because of wearing glasses?

Source? Me mofo, I’m telling you a real life story of my own, age 12, grade 7. I got punched in the face by a goddamn [redacted word], and nearly lost my right eye.
He was suspended from school, and his parents had to buy me new glasses.

That’s a focused punch, an airbag is much wider.

Sounds pretty anecdotal.
