Why when i had a front end collision with another vehicle my air bags did not deploy?
Most air bags will not deploy at less than 10 miles per hour the other posibillity is that there was a fault in the air bag system.
Will air bags deploy when you are hit in the rear?
They shouldn't!! the impact sensors are on the front end of the vehicle.
Why do cars have air bags?
Air bags are safety devices designed to deploy in frontal but not other types of crashes. Most air bags will deploy only in a moderate-to-severe frontal crash. Some air bags can deploy side damage too.
When do airbags deploy?
Air bags deploy when someone gets into an accident.
If the seat belts released and air bags did not deploy on impact would you have grounds not only to sue the driver but also the manufacturer of the vehicle?
You must be an American retard ? Airbags deploys only if it's needed ! If the vehicle's involved goe's too slow it would not deploy .
Is air bags are supplemental protection and designed to deploy in all crashes?
false
In a 1995 Ford Contour what speed or circumstance would it take to make the air bags deploy?
Air bags are designed to keep your head, neck, and chest from slamming into the dash, steering wheel or windshield in a front-end crash. They are not designed to inflate in rear-end or rollover crashes or in most side crashes, unless equipped with side airbags. Generally, air bags are designed to deploy in crashes that are equivalent to a vehicle crashing into a solid wall at 8-14 mph. Air bags most often deploy when a vehicle collides with another vehicle or with a solid object like a tree. Air bags inflate when a sensor detects a front-end crash. The sensor sends an electric signal to start a chemical reaction that inflates the air bag with harmless nitrogen gas. All this happens faster than the blink of an eye. Air bags have vents, so they deflate immediately after cushioning you. They cannot smother you and they don't restrict your movement. The "smoke" you may have seen in a vehicle after an air bag demonstration is the nontoxic starch or talc that is used to lubricate the air bag. All air bags are not the same. Air bags differ in design and performance. There are differences in the crash speeds that trigger air bag deployment, the speed and force of deployment, the size and shape of air bags, and the manner in which they unfold and inflate. That is why you should contact your vehicle manufacturer if you want specific information about the air bags in your particular car.
Why were invented air bags?
Airbags were invented as safety devices. When a vehicle is involved in a crash and the airbags deploy, they offer a cushion between the driver and the steering wheel as between the passengers and the windows.
What is the minimum speed for airbags to deploy?
the air bags will deploy with force. u can go 5 mph but if some one smacks u doing 50 they will deploy At 10-12kph.

What speed or circumstance does it take to make the air bags deploy?
Air bags are set to trigger at approx. 15-25 MPH only on impact either front end or side, if side air bags are fitted.
How fast do you have to drive for your airbag to deploy?
you dont have to be moving at all, you just have to have the key on and get hit in the front with enough force to make the air bags deploy
