Air Bags didn't deploy in 4 flip car accident?
Dillon
'm 16, this morning me, and my 2 friends checked out of school to go eat lunch like most kids do, both of them my age as well, I was going down a road I was unfamiliar with, lost control around a curve, the car, a 2003 ford explorer sport-2 door (not sport trac). The car hit a road sign head on, then being top heavy, flipped 4 times, the seat belts didn't lock for me and the other front seat passenger, my friend in the back didn't have his seat belt on due to state laws, and stupidity, he was ejected, for the record, we are all okay except for a few stitches, we are very lucky but I was concerned because the airbags didn't deploy and the seat belts didn't lock.
okay, get the damn computer, tell me, and ford, the trooper himself didn't even give me a citation for the accident because he was in disbelief, I said the one in the back wasn't wearing a seat belt, up front we was, I am concerned that my vehicle didn't deploy the air bags in an accident that could have and should have been severe, if your so sick to think I am making it up then you have problems.
Answer
The air bags are not supposed to deploy in a roll over collision.
Air bags are NOT nice soft comfy pillows.
They are rough membranes filled with hot gas that deploy at you at hundreds of miles an hour.
The air bags are triggered to deploy by sudden deceleration. Picture: car traveling 35 mph hits brick wall head on.
Since your car flipped 4 times - you did not have the sudden stop. The energy from the collision was disbursed as the car flipped. Air bags do not usually deploy in a roll over.
The brains of the air bag system are under the drivers seat. The Air Bag Control Module recorded the event and determined that it was not appropriate for the air bags to deploy.
Since the only injuries you and your friends have are " a few stitches" then the system did exactly what it should. Most likely the stitches were required because of flying glass and the air bags don't help you with that. Your friend who was ejected was incredibly lucky. It's possible for an ejected passenger to get rolled over by the car, hit objects (suck as trees) and be killed or even be decapitated as they are ejected.
An unbelted passenger who is not ejected can easily break their neck (hang mans fracture) on the roof of the car or even cause injury to the restrained passengers as his body is thrown around the car in the roll over. In a roll over, anything that is not belted down can become a missile and cause injury to the restrained passengers.
As far as the seat belts go - when they lock the don't lock you in the seat. There is still a little bit of play in the belt. When the car goes upside down, your bottom may come out of the seat a few inches. However, you won't slam into the roof of the car and break your neck. You won't get ejected.
A car flipping 4 times is a severe accident. There is no "could have" about it. However, the safety systems in the car performed exactly as they should have and some cuts and bruises are the only injuries.
You lost control of the car in the curve because you took the curve too fast. The posted speed limit is set so that you can travel that curve for the first time and navigate it safely. If you were keeping attention on the roadway and traveling at or below the posted speed limit - this accident should not have happened.
If the trooper did not give you a ticket - then you caught another lucky break. This accident is your fault. Period.
The best thing you can do at this point is to cooperate with your insurance company in the investigation/defense of the accident and to learn from the experience. Never start the car until all passengers in the car have buckled up. Make sure to drive with in the speed limit. And don't try to do other things while driving- that includes no texting, talking on the phone, messing around with your passengers etc. And of course, never drink and drive.
