One possibility could be, it was the Airbag sensor's 'threshold' was set to low from the manufacture.
Another possibility, the sensor's 'threshold' had deteriorated over time due to environmental and/or driving conditions.
On sensing a collision an airbag will deploy in an average of just 30 milliseconds.
An airbag depoys when a hard impact its the vehicle and the airbag automatically deploy's before the driver and passengers hit the front of the car/seat.
it will deploy if hit hard enough.
It is suppose to deploy in a frontal crash
No an airbag will not deploy if the battery is disconnected
The airbag system has a malfunction and will not deploy if needed as long as the airbag symbol stays on.
Once
If the car is off and no one hits you the airbag should not deploy. If you are driving and stopped at a traffic light and someone hits you, the airbag could possibly deploy depending on the impact of the accident.
200 mph
Drive and hit a brick wall, the airbag will deploy. Then remove it.
yes
i was at a demo for the jaws of life, and the guy said if at the seen of an accident and the airbags did not deploy just remove the key from the ignition. the airbag will not go off
