Old news... This was debated at some length over on SCCAForums; the study on which this is based was done to study the possibility of using airbags in F1 cars, so it's arguable whether or not it pertains to street cars. I think there's been maybe one documented case of an airbag causing injury with a full-face helmet. Personally, knowing how hard an airbag can deploy, I'll take my chances with having it smack my full-face helmet rather than my face.
