| On monday may 12 i was involved in a car accident. i am concerned because my air bad did not activate. i was driving a 2001 ford f250, going around 40-45 miles per hour. i ran into the back of a person that was sitting stopped at a red light. i never hit my brakes so i hit her straight in the rear. why type of impact does it take for the sensor to go off for air bags? *nlm | |||
