If you have links to further info, I'd appreciate them.

I suppose that's possible, but in a crash, rapid deceleration is a certainty, whereas fire is relatively unlikely, so I personally would rather have the help of the airbags to reduce deceleration, especially with the LWBs, since they aren't really full track seats with ample lateral leg/torso/arm restraint, halos, etc.
If you have links to further info, I'd appreciate them.

But as to deceleration, isn't that what the harnesses are for? Wouldn't the airbags be redundant?
In any event, I hope I never have to found out one way or the other.

Certainly agree on the last point!

I've experienced a crash with a 7 point harness, Hans and a race bucket. I forgot to disconnect the airbag so I got to see it deploy. It did nothing. It stopped a few inches in front of my face. Should have had a big $ on it.
