If no wear seatbelt then airbag will not activate. Airbag is a SRS, Supplemental Restraint System means it's a secondary system.
If death by blunt force trauma then most likely didn't wear seatbelt and got thrown against the windscreen, can't really see the condition of the windshield as it is quite dark

Probably both and didn't wear seatbelt. That's not a very high speed corner.

Not really like that.
My tyres are 235mm. Normal cars is about 165mm. Mine already 50% wider than normal tyres.

Difference is a lot, especially cornering. I can drive close to double of speed limit on highway exits turn(like damansara). Let's say 50kmh speed limit, I can go 90kmh even 100 without skidding in dry conditions.

Why wide tyres matters ?? Like our weather have heavy rainfall and easily cause aquaplaning.
If drive normal car if hit water puddle on right side, will feel steering pulling to right. But with wide tyres and ESC, the car won't run. Can drive with one hand.

I've tested many times to trigger skid, but the ESC light never came out (maybe haven't push hard enough but already double of speed limit during corner d)

Actually I felt that a lot of ppl don't know the limits of their car. That makes them dangerous.
Like some SUV turn turtle, or some car don't have ESC skid into drain in corner......

Wrong. Wider tyre in wet conditions more likely to aquaplane.
A narrower tyre will cut through faster because of the profile and greater weight on the contact area.
A wider tyre only gives you a covering advantage and better stability in the dry.
About skidding, are you sure you're doing it right?

I think those speeding cars like what u mentioned are fiddling with luck... once your tyre lose grip, I dun think any ESC or stability can save u...

On the other hand, those who drives slow and careful.. I don't think they need ESC...

Sometimes, as they say, cars with full safety feature die faster exactly because drivers feel invincible because of the load of safety features and this theory has its logic...

Often times, I see those Audis taking corners on wet road "like nothing" and I fear for their lives...

A car loaded with safety aids like ABS and VSC is more forgiving of idiot drivers but doesn't save them.
Better to have these safety features than not.
If you could spec your car without a safety belt, would you?
