| I hit the rear of a truck hard enough that my radiator was crushed against my engine block. however, the airbags in my car did not deploy at all. i know i had to have hit the truck in front of me somewhere between 20 and 50 mph. we are still waiting to hear back from our doctor to see if my wife and i are ok, and i have not had my car repaired yet for i am still waiting for the car insurance company. if this is normal i would like to know at what point were the airbags in a 2005 saturn ion type 1 suppose to deploy in a front end collision. *ak | |||
