I was in an accident mostly frontal and my airbags didn't go off either. But I would have had broken glasses if they did! LOL
Either way. The human body wasn't designed to go and stop that fast. Even with safety devices you can still turn into mush! It's similar to falling... |

instead of banning members I propose we get them to run their Yaris into walls at different angles and at various speeds to see just in what conditions airbags will deploy...

I've already had mine crashed, and posted the results. Am I immune to banning for life now?

Steve, I don't think we could get rid of you even if we wanted to

Wow, this thread really exploded in a day; yet, not a peep from the OP (post count actually went down. Because the other post was moved?)...

and your acting like i was drunk driving almost hitting a pedestrian calm down, its a topic about the air bags not how your going to change amerca's traffic system or how your indirectly saying your a better driver than others, and who are you again?

To the OP, the airbags went off in this crash, do you actually expect that if there was a driver in this car that he/she would emerge uninjured?!?
Smart Car Crash Test (How in the heck do you embed vids on this forum again?!? ) By the way, the NHTSA crash ratings for the 2007 Yaris hatchback where 4/5 stars for front and rollover crashes, and 3/5 for side impacts (there were no side airbags in 2007). It got 'Good' ratings in five out of six categories, and an overall "Good." (Source). Plus, there are numerous firsthand accounts of how well the Yaris has held up in accidents on this forum. So, you still wanna claim that the car is dangerous? Well, maybe it is; as every vehicle on the road has some degree of danger associated with it. But as the NHTSA results show, the Yaris does pretty good in every category, and received no ratings below the standard. Cheers! M2
