Fuel is necessary to the function of the engine. If cars didn't need it, they wouldn't have it. We've figured out C4 pretty well, but we don't stuff the doors full of it.

These thrusters could maybe help you if you fell down a particularly short cliff. Otherwise, if you get in an accident severe enough to send you rolling, you do not want high pressure nitrogen tanks right next to your head.

Bumpers are there for if maybe you get in an accident. We don't build safety systems for maybe

Bumpers also don't explode in exactly the type of situation where they would ostensibly be useful

Yep, and that explosion is core to the functionality of the device. Do you think these nitrogen tanks exploding would make anyone safer?
