All models, belt bag in the history of the airbags gas design, the first set of gases used on the public were all the worst in 50 design could find, and that's how utah supported haz whooper. These were mostly oxygen deprovant gases, this set of gases had been found to be flammable. Previously known as "must stay contained during use" and "must stay contained until disposed of properly". They lost this case under federal ruling that supported once delivered the gas becomes that business' proprietary. These have a unique gas mixture to morton international and autoliv. When the employees lost their hazardous exposure case to remove the availability of haz whooping gas from 49 other production states, they went to a new set of gases. Those that were allowed to release during use such as: weld gas (argon) "designated release on public while in use" helium (safe enough for use in a child's toy) these were also extremely flammable. What haz never been provided by this country is the chemical analysis of what these "mix" gases will do that make them proprietary to autoliv & morton international. Chemical reaction needs to be determined on the "mix" gas concerning spontaneity of the gas in unprecidtable deployment. Tv just advertised this belt bag. It takes much less gas on an infant no matter where you put them in the vehicle. The more "mix" cylinders you allow in the vehicle the worse this situation is getting. Flammability is the least of our worries as the plant declared it a "knock out" gas, feels like a nerve gas, etc. Some were fired in 1995 describing it as sarin gas, qualifying it as a bio-explosive built external to defense (where the first article testing is that prevents purchase of this component in the military). These cylinders also have a known leak rate of 100%. (the original failing of the gas besides the bio chemical reaction) too much pressure leaks in extreme hot whether climates, too little leaks in cold.
