It wouldnt matter if 30 air bags went off. Any car pretty much ends up a pancake after flipping 9 times. Race cars have steel cages built around drivers to ensure safety for accidents at these speeds. Consumer vehicals dont.
The best safety device is common sense.
My condolences for your friend. RIP.

Hey Know It All (and binder): What if the computer reveals that his airbag went off at his speed, and was the cause of him losing control? You are jumping to conclusions and reacting to the defective thought that we have a legal problem. Insurance premiums rise and fall due to bad investments of the billions that insurance companies collect from policy holders. Have you no faith in the Court system / jury system? If the evidence showed he lost control due to his 100 mph+ speeds, do you really have a lack of faith of your fellow people to reject any recovery on the slight chance it got to that point? You know deep down, it wouldn't even get to a jury. You're all caught up in the handfull of excessive verdicts you might see on the front page - they're only there because they're newsworthy and catch attention. You don't see the thousdands of verdicts where Plaintiffs are blanked or undercompensated or even fairly compensated - those are the verdicts that don't make the news because its nothing significant. Stop the narrow minded thinking.

I never knew a car could roll 9 times within a millisecond, must be some 'Back to the Future' type sh*t. When you are talking about triple digits, nothing will save you, regardless of what kind of car youre in. Try crashing in a hummer at 100+ mph, see if you come out walking. Some people dont realize the kind of destructive power, moving vehicles have. To the OP, sorry to hear about your friend, 22 is really a young age to die at, considering im 18 myself. My condolences to his family, and his friends. But to be honest with you, the only 1 that caused his death, was himself. Be happy he didnt take out an innocent person, maybe a father, or a sister, to a different family, along with him.
