Description of the problem	On sunday, 10/07/01 at approximately 2pm, i was parking alongside a residential street behind my unoccupied father in law's truck. I was slowing down to park, going less than 5 mph, when my foot slipped and i bumped my father in law's rear bumber. The collision was not hard. There was no damage to his truck. My truck's license plate was slightly dented and the bumber cover was only scratched. This mild impact, however did cause both my airbags to deploy. I was not hurt. I reported incident to my insurance and they referred me to a body shop for repairs. When i went to pick up my truck today, i was told by body shop employee that it was a strange incident because the impact had been so mild and the air bags were not fully deployed. As i researched this website i did find information on nhtsa campaign id number 01vo82000, which addresses the airbags not fully deploying. I am not only addressing that problem, but also at how easily the airbags did deploy at such a low speed, low impact incident. *ak
