Having heard so much about the safety of airbags I was very surprised not to have either of the airbags in my truck deploy when I was involved in the traffic accident on 6/21/00. I was traveling between 40 and 45 mph when someone pulled out, from a stop sign, directly in front of me. I was unable to react, it happened so quickly. The other driver was sited by a police that witnessed the accident.
