Best Answer

Airbag deployment is generally not done on the basis of speed: they deploy mostly when there is a sudden stop in speed which has resulted from an impact.

Additional: Most aribag sensors are calibrated to activate when they sense an impact equivelant to striking something at a speed of about 30-35 MPH.

Zero mph. It is not about how fast you were going. The airbag goes off due to a sudden acceleration or deceleration. You can be sitting still and get hit by another vehicle with enough force to set the airbag off.
