I can't give names yet b/cause of legal reasons. But, a close family member was in an accident in 08-2003, went off steep cliff speed was 5-10 miles an hr. Rolled the 1997 lasabre, was wearing seatbelt and for some reason air bag went off. Anyhow he is now a quadraplegic b/cause the room collapsed on him. Thanks 2 the weak design.
