I hydroplaned, going 10 mph under the speed limit, hit every quarter panel along the guardrail (including a head-on collision with the guard rail), and out of 10 airbags, not one deployed. I felt like I was bounced around the car like a rag doll (yes, I was wearing my seatbelt). Car was totaled, I sustained shoulder, neck, and wrist injuries, but was shocked that airbags did not deploy.
The car in front stopped on the highway because of another driver swerving to exit. This caused my car to rear-end the vehicle that was stopped directly in front of me. My car suffered severe damage to the front end. The airbags did not deploy!! upon looking at the damage after the accident, you could see that both airbag sensors were physically pushed back into the engine compartment. They were both clearly hit, yet neither deployed the airbags. Thankfully no one was injured. I was extremely lucky. With that said, what good are airbags if they don't deploy? especially in a severe front-end collision? makes no sense to me.
