I was in an accident where a majority of my front end was completely damaged. In fact, the bumper was completely taken off with significant other damage which i have pictures off. Neither airbag deployed. Fortunately i was ok and did not sustain any injuries. I am just surprised by the size of the impact that the airbags did not deploy. *js
