I personally totalled a car once and the airbag busted my nose and gave me a couple of light chemical burns. however, had it not been there, i would have smashed my skull on the steering wheel and most likely died on impact. instead, i got a bloody nose and a couple of burns that healed in 2 days.

i collapsed the back on of a car when i got clipped on the side at a stop light and the guy was doing 60mph
didnt have an air bag, no face damage, no harm done
he hit so hard he snapped the racing seat and popped the front hood up
sorry but i beg to differ on your theory
i waked away with no scratches and my face came no where near the wheel.
ive seen air bags blow in super low collisions where it did more damage then if it wasn't there
