We will have to agree to disagree. I'm holding the opinion that an airbag will be helpful. Maybe not in all places right now ( I have service in Unknown) but helpful in general. You can believe it's not helpful because they might travel somewhere without tower access. Ultimately it's up to the ladies family members.

An airbag is always helpful if you get into a crash I won't disagree with that.

Okay now besides the typo joke it's up to the ladies family definitely. But there is a vast area of our state without service. You cannot deny the possibility of if this happens again they end up going into a deadzone and get lost.

That's true. When I first moved to this town I had no service on my phone. My internet was essentially dial up. I had been with my carrier for over a decade. We had no towers to connect to. The company connected me to Canadian towers. Now, a decade later, we have our own towers and I have really fast fiber in the house. ( Not available everywhere in my town...yet) Service had improved greatly in the wilderness.
