My car has been in 2 accidents where the air bags did not deploy. I hit a man from behind in the first one, and did over $5,000 worth of damage to my car, and no air bag. The last one my son was driving the car and hydroplaned, hit the guardrail doing atleast 40 miles a hour bounced off the guardrail hit a SUV and still no air bag. Both sides of the front of the car were damaged severely.
