^^im calling bullsh|t. you don't just cut through a telephhone pole doing 60. the telephone pole cuts through you.

 

damn dude...sorry to hear that but it will be very hard to prove that the airbags deployed when you hit the bump before you hit the pole....by the way and I know this sounds f-up but can I get your headlights??

 

Yes the should ...........^^^ 110% ^^^^^ Hire yourself a good lawyer!!

 

Just remember... if called to testify, you'll be under oath.

You should delete your post and forget you told us about the accident.

OK, front of the car is gone but the front airbags are not blown. Looks like a malfunction to me.

 

Sorry that happened to you...I would personally get a lawyer. Infiniti airbags are an issue, I had a problem with them during my accident also.

When Should Airbags Deploy?
Most vehicles on the road today have two types of airbags: frontal and side-impact.

Frontal airbags are designed to protect the occupants' heads and chests from hitting the steering wheel, instrument panel, or windshield, experts say.

Side-impact airbags are designed to protect the occupants' heads and/or necks from striking objects inside or outside the vehicle in side impact crashes.

Air bag systems have three main components -- an airbag module, crash sensors, and a diagnostic unit -- that determine if and when the airbags should deploy.

"The airbag system is tuned to deploy when it thinks there's enough energy in the crash to cause harm," says the director of NHTSA's office of data acquisition and the former head of the agency's special crash investigations division. He didn't want his name used in this story.

"You have to look at the energy in the crash. If you're doing 30 mph and you lift your foot off the petal and gradually slow down to zero, do you need you airbag? No.

"But if you're going 30 mph and strike a hard object, like a tree or wall, we'd expect to see your airbags deploy," he says, adding his agency investigates 4,000-5,000 accidents a year.

"If you drive down the road and sideswipe something at 30 mph, you might not have high enough energy to trigger an airbag deployment. The question you have to ask is: 'Is there enough energy from the crash to trigger an airbag deployment?'"
