Depending on the severity of the crash, the airbags will only deploy if absolutely necessary. They are not what they used to be, in that they just go off in a bingle, many many hours of testing are put into the deployment of airbags so that drivers/passengers are not subjected to a airbag being fired in the face if not needed.

What injuries did you sustain in the accident?
That will tell you if they were needed. But I do agree with DFB, they only deploy if needed. Have a look on YouTube for how violent they are

If you did not need it in the crash , i would be very happy the air bag didn't go off, they can really give you a wack,
how did the car crash, was it a direct head on , where you sliding/spinning ? |
