It seems that several people walked unaided from the recent Air India Express accident. Those that didn't almost certainly died from the fire that engulfed the aircraft rather than the apparently not too violent impact. How an airbag might improve such a situation seems to me to be extremely unlikely. If anything the inflated bag would impede rapid exit from the seats not next to the aisles. Better and cheaper would be a shoulder strap as fitted in your car.
