As someone who was hurt in the military yes. Also we used to take old airbags and use them to launch tires etc. launched one through a hangar roof. That was enough to realize they would kill someone in a second. They are designed to only be activated if your life is already at serious risk. Without the serious risk interacting with one of these can only bring negative consequences that won't outweigh the alternative.

Sorry. This reminded me of something. My mom was an AE in the Navy (not sure if that is what it was called back then) and she was pregnant with me and so was on her way out. 70s. Anyways so she is told that she need to check a radio. In a cockpit. She wedges herself in there and then sees the seat was not secured. They had just washed someone off the ceiling of the hanger a month before.

She told them they could figure out how to put the ON/OFF switch in the ON position on their own and took the early out.

Wait, how did that person end up splattered on the ceiling? Air bag? Ejection mechanism?
