Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

The 7th gen' Camry for 2012 has 11 airbags standard. the new cars sacrafice themselves to save the occupants.
In most cases where the body and mechanical damge isn't severe, the cost to replace the airbags and seatbelts as required by law and the insurance assoc. render the vehicle total loss.
Is driving a chassic a trade off or compremise? Are we willing to accept our share of the injury so we can heal ourselves, repair oor rides and get back out there ? YEP
My 67 vert project car was T-boned in the drivers door. I wasn't there but I'm sure it had to hurt.
Here's my inspiration.. The bible says "They will jostle one against another in the broadways". It doesn't go on to say "You will die from this". Doesn't say you wont either.
The entire book is about being prepared to die at any moment.
