[quote=flu] Well, I thought you were talking about overall car safety, from which includes not just airbag deployment, but ensuring passenger/driver compartment remained intact and that passenger injuries were minimized. There are numerous reasons why/why not an airbag would/will not deploy at a given time depending on many factors. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not vouching for why this particular case the airbag didn’t deploy…But it’s not the first time I’ve heard a frontal impact and an airbag didn’t deploy…Happens all the time across all makes/models.
IIHS provides a comprehensive test of frontal,side, and rear impact test and soon to be evaluated roof strength.[/quote]
Fair enough. I had just done research prior and knew that American cars and trucks do superior in frontal crashes.
I haven’t expanded that out to other aspects of safety…don’t have the time. :0)
