I guess that it depends on how you look at it. Police on the scene said that he's lucky to be alive. It's possible that the safety features on this car saved his life and kept his injuries to a minimum. It's possible that had he been driving any other car that he's be dead.
Another thing about most airbags, and maybe these are different, is that they inflate for only a few short seconds and then deflate. Their purpose is to prevent injuries from initial impact. I don't know that all of these airbags remained inflated until the car came to a stop
