Wife got in a wreak today ....

[chancito1]

Glad she’s ok

[Strummer]

Glad she is not hurt any worse, but air bags should have deployed!!!!!!!
If not, why not?

I have no idea why but I’m going to find out .

Those heavy duty bumpers don’t allow for the sensors to activate and usually prevents air bags from going off. Talked to a guy at an auto shop repairing a troopers Tahoe from a crash a few weeks ago. Trooper had a bumper, brakes went out on a pursuit trooper went straight into woods and a big ditch. He had seatbelt on and slammed head on steering wheel. Tahoe was totaled and air bags never went off. Body shop said the sensors never registered a wreck.

Glad she’s okay, I’ve thought about those cameras too.

I thought they were triggered by inertia over a certain amount of g force?

If that’s the case they should go off regardless.

Glad she's okay and it wasn't worse.

Glad she’s okay.

Good thing she wasn't in one of those halfman trucks. Glad everyone is okay.

Wow. Glad she was able to walk away

[bowhunting1]

Delta-v doesn't appear to be high enough or within threshold to deploy the airbag. Also the bumper guard can hinder deployment as well. Have reconstructed numerous Chevy pickup accidents and they seem to have a slightly higher airbag threshold deployment, especially on the earlier models. Glad she's okay.

Prayers sent for full recovery.

Sorry she was hurt Keith, let us know if you need anything.

[Dejashoot]

Wow. Good thing it was a dry creek and not full of water. Hope she recovers quickly

[texan16]

Dang, scary stuff, glad she is alright.

[MarkV]

Glad she is ok. Did anyone get plates of the lady that ran her off the road?

[be12hunt]

Dang, glad she’s ok. Not sure if this is the same scenario or not but years ago my stepdad changed lanes and basically ran a car off the road. He pulled over and apologized (minor damage to the other car), but his insurance denied coverage. They said he never actually struck the other vehicle so it wasn’t his fault. He ended up covering the repairs out of pocket.

Glad she’s okay.

God bless!
