Honda 2007 slid during icy conditions hitting a guardrail and damaging the rear of the vehicle. Side airbags deployed pinning the driver's head between the airbag and the side window resulting in a concussion and abrasions to the head and face. Front airbags did not deploy.
I was traveling approximately 25-30 MPH when a woman driver failed to stop at a stop sign which caused me to hit the side of her car. My seatbelt retracted and save me, however the airbag did not deploy. There was however a scent of burning or a chemical reaction inside the cabin. I was under the impression that airbags will deploy at more than 10 MPH upon impact. Clearly I was going faster than 10-15 MPH. I am wondering if something was a miss.
