This is my concern I was riding with someone and we had a crash going 80 mph. The car hydro plain off the highway hitting the guard rail. I believe at that speed the airbags should have came out but they did not, I myself had major neck and back pains my head hitting the side window. I just want to know why this airbag did not come out and it's bothering me because I could have been severely hurt or killed thank god I walk out. The car was 99 Mazda 626. This car impact with the guard rail 3 times before stopping. I don't understand, can you help with this or should I report this to consumers. Thanks...

In rainy condition and driving 40 mph, ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to skid about 10-15 feet and have a frontal impact with another vehicle. Upon impact, driver's and passenger's airbags did not deploy, which did not protect the occupants in this crash.
