They took her straight there, they actually had 2 guys holding her still while they pulled the suv away so they could get to the battery and disable the electronics so the airbag wouldn't go off on them.

Just a couple of pics, she didn't take a picture of the bumper pulled off its brace and both welds ripped apart.
Bumper is in the backseat. Couldnt get much out of the trunk except some christmas presents.

Re: Minimum speed for airbag deployment?
I've hit a deer head on going 50mph and I've rear-ended someone going 35mph. Neither of those caused the airbags to deploy and both situations they would have been welcome.
I'm not a big believer in the awesomeness of airbags.

Re: Minimum speed for airbag deployment?
1 - if you disable your airbags you have to inform your insurance company if you expect coverage
2 - while they might not go off every time that they are needed, if you're over 5'2" they can be a BIG help. What I've never understood is why nobody ever tells people that an airbag will f up a short person.

Heres a thought, I wear my seatbelt...
I really don't want my car totaled b/c it costs thousands of dollars just to replace my airbags...

Re: Minimum speed for airbag deployment?
seriously where do you come up with these figures for airbags...
you can get the drivers/pass/module for nearly every honda for less that 400 bucks...
high end cars such as bmw/mb/audi/ go for 5-700
and cheap shit like ford and chevy american shit you get for approx 150 for the set...
