Good day, I am a 19 year police veteran for a medium size police department in alaska. I wanted to pass along on observation that myself and other officers are seeing in the field. Specifically, we have noted that with the increase in icy conditions and increased vehicle collisions, that many of the smaller vehicles such as Subaru's and Toyota Prius are not having their airbags activated. We have seen about a half dozen wrecks where the collision has caused the car to slam into a vehicle in front of it at a stop light or similar and the bumper doesn't touch the rear of the standing vehicle causing the airbag to deploy, however, the hood/engine compartment is crumpled. Additionally, side curtain airbags are also not deploying on angled impacts. I do not know if you have had other observations of this but wanted awareness in case there is a trend in design or sensors.
