So in my nearly weekly strolls through the junkyard I have noticed many seriously destroyed cars with the airbags intact. Recently 2 that stuck out is an 06' Imp that impacted so hard that the rocker arms were exposed the distortion of the front end was so bad that the firewall was crumpled and roof deformed. It looked as though it hit a pole nearly head on. Airbags fully intact. The other was a GP that looked as though it slid sidewise into a pole as well. I do not think the driver survived. The drivers seat, well it was where the center console was, the door pushed the steering wheel rim nearly to the center line of the steering wheel and slightly dislodged the airbag. Several other GPs had damage that looked as though the airbags should have been deployed but had not.
so have any of you guys been in wrecks that the bag should have gone off but didn't?
