Old car crashes & deaths vs new car crashes & deaths

My Dad and Aunt were killed in a 1968 4 door Newport in 1978 They were hit head on by a 1975 Monte Carlo. My Aunt was killed instantly , My Dad died from a punctured heart and lungs caused by broken ribs from hitting the steering wheel. In a modern car I feel they both would have survived PROVIDED they were wearing seat belts AND the air bags deployed. Their car was crushed in to a 2 door , it literally broke the 383 and 727 apart , the other driver walked away.

Don't fool yourself modern cars are way safer in MOST accidents. I don't mean a SMART (DUMBASS) car either?? LOL
