| Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident. I ran into the back of another car at 41 mph (there is a strong possibility that i had a black-out, docs are still examining the evidence). The airbag in the steering wheel did not deploy. Fortunately i was wearing my seatbelt and have lots of soreness and bruising on my chest, and severe memory loss around the incident. My garmin dash-cam was running the entire time, recording the date, time, location, gps coordinates, and speed in mph at crash time. You can clearly see how fast i was going when i rear-ended the other vehicle and the camry i was driving sustained massive damage. The cabin held up well, but no airbags in the vehicle deployed, including the one in the steering wheel a few feet in front of me. Certainly this is not right? |
