I was just in an accident three days ago and the air bags failed to deploy. I was moving at a speed to activate balm (35-45 MPH). My neck is now in alot of pain as a result of this accident. It was such a hard hit my back wheels came off the ground! It was a t bone hit, but ihit square with driver side front wheel, and with stopping time. I believe that my neck would have been supported if the air bags would have deployed.
