2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2004

My daughter lost her left arm when it went through the driver's side window during a vehicle crash. She was driving a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 dually. The airbags did not deploy and the front axle came off. I suspect a vehicle defect in the axle and airbags. I want to know why vehicles don't have safety glass in the side windows; how many people have lost limbs in this manner; and, how many 3500 Dodge ram vehicles have been involved in rollovers similar to this.
