But isn't spontaneous deployment of airbags causing grave injury also an edge case? [1]

Not only do I wear a seatbelt since that incident but I'm also, by orders of magnitude, a more conscientious driver than I was prior.

Spontaneous deployment, yes, that's an edge case.

Turning an accident that would have left one only bruised from the seatbelt into one that also includes a broken nose and injuries to one's hands and arms is fairly common.
