Did your airbag start drinking heavily after they turned 21? Don't trust a boozy airbag. If it goes to church every Sunday though I'm sure it will do the right then when asked to do so.

Seriously though, stl is right. The issue with older airbags was the deterioration of material that changed their nature to that of a pipe bomb. I don't personally know any examples of older airbags that failed to ignite under the proper circumstances. And I've never heard of any airbag just deciding to ignite because you looked at it wrong. But anything is possible...
