There are a gabillion ways to make dangerous things safe, these people are just not creative considering the consequences.
GE should be made culpable.
They sold a pig in a poke to any bloke with a bag of cash, for shame, for shame.
Forty years ago. Did your 70's car have frontal as well as side curtain air bags and headrests and shoulder harnesses and anti-lock brakes and all weather radials and traction control and full time 4wd and... and... um...
Gosh, your 40 year old hindsight is just as clear as can be.
It is a testament to the design and construction of these things that they have heave held up as well as they have considering what they have been subjected to, which they were NOT designed to handle.
I think they are damned impressive.
The engineers should be proud.
You’re right about GE...
