Collision did not satisfy the requirements for airbag deployment

Airbags require certain elements to deploy. If a light or side collision occurs, the airbag will likely not deploy(depending on the vehicle). For example, if a vehicle was traveling around 10 MPH when it crashed, the airbag would likely not deploy.

Airbag Did Not Deploy in a Collision

The airbag system is designed to deploy only when certain conditions are met, such as speed and deceleration. If there was a collision where the airbag did not deploy, the conditions necessary may not have been met.
