[QUOTE=jenskii;594407]I was on the drivers side and I was badly injured... well bad whiplash and the seatbelt cut into my neck.

Zarb's panel shop in ossie park were awesome, it got towed there and they wrote it off immediately.[/QUOTE]

I don't even know where the pics of it were, I know GIO took some when they assessed it. I did take some when I went to see the car the next day at Zarb's panel shop but don't know where they ended up. All I have is police crash reports and a wad of insurance paperwork (as the girl that drove into me was unlicensed)

Witn modern airbag systems, it depends on the rate of decceleration, I think its at least 15G's or 15 times the force of gravity. I can tell you for sure tomorrow when I'm at work.
I would say that, at 30kph, and the fact she hit the car twice so it wasn't a dead stop, there wasn't enough of a decceleration to cause the airbags to deploy.

I can guarantee there would be no fault with the system, or the warning light would have been on, its really that simple.
