In August 2005 I was unfortunately involved in a car accident where I rear ended another vehicle at 55mph. The other vehicle left the accident & thankfully I wasn't injured. But to my great surprise, my seatbelt did not lock & my air bags did not deploy. I hit the steering wheel with my chest & to say the least it did not feel good. If the air bags had deployed I would have been seriously injured. I went to my local Honda dealership to inquire why both my airbags & seatbelt had failed. The mechanic told me I did not "hit the vehicle right" so my seatbelt did not lock up & the air bags did not deploy. I told him next time "my car will jump on top of the vehicle so I can hit it right."
