At 25 mp/h (around 40 kliks) Airbags are sufficient to protect from Injury. Even at 35 mp/h the US governent states that airbags are sufficient to prevent injury according to NHTSA tests. If she had an airbag, she may have walked away. Wear your seatbelt airbags or no airbags anyway. They save lives!
In fact, some tests have shown that airbags actually increase the chance of injury when you aren't wearing a seatbelt! Just one more reason to wear them I guess.
Neither seatbelts or airbags are perfect, but the combination is as close as you could get to "perfect protection" without locking yourself into a padded cell.... :)
Generally in the U.S. if the ad was created using federal funds, then it's OK to reproduce at any time. You'll want to find out who funded the ad and if it's a government program, you're probably OK with using it.
This ad is way way too casual for an accident prevention ad. "its written all over their face" The music is very calm, doesn't really make me stop and think, then again, I'm not dumb enough to not wear a seatbelt.
Her face gets fucked up and she's going to be seeing doctors for the rest of her life. She could have also messed up her neck. Did you see the way her entire upper body moved? It doesn't have to be scary for it to be effective.
You're right, the actual accident is rubbish, but then she's in a wheelchair operated by her chin, which is an incredibly harsh aftermath (and consider no aftermath is usually shown in British ads). It's a strange mix that almost half-works.
I thought this one was really good.

Before she was just an ugly woman, now she's a biomechanical monster! Who will rise to the occasion and defeat her?
Suddenly a rumbling, like the Earth torn asunder, emanates from the eldrich depths of Oxford. Suddenly, Stephen Hawking appears!

Sheer wordsmithery. Bravo!

Thanks. The repetition of 'suddenly' cheapens it, though.

As does the misconception that Stephen Hawking is just another cripple.
