05 g35 wrecked today air bag didn't go off!!

the srs system decides whether to deploy the airs bags or not based on collusion and speed. Keep in mind air bags are not a gentle pillow floating onto your face, its huge and violent explosion. Some times the air deploying can cause more damage then not deploying in low speed impacts.
SRS system figured you would receive less damage if the air bag did not deploy.

Soo. Some lady thought she could cross the intersection before I came thru or just didn't see me and I ended up tboning her.....she's Mexican and no insurance lucky me.... I was going 40 and slammed on the brakes to probably 30-35 but my airbag didn't go off when i hit her!! I had the coupe recall airbag wiring fixed. What's everyone opinion? Why didn't my airbag go off? Do I need to having an attorney call Infiniti??

Airbag sensors are not designed to set the bag off once they are crushed... Its a deceleration speed that deploys them... The impact has to be hard enough for the metal ball or whatever it is to come loose from the back of the sensor and hit the front completing the electrical circuit. Almost like its a ball bearing stuck to a magnet and it takes x amount of force for out power the rear magnet and let the ball slam forward to the front magnet connecting the electronic contacts and deploying the bag...
I could be slightly off on that but thats what another member her explained once, and also an old time body shop guy told me...

OK guys...so I finally got my estimate in....they are going to fix it....i am completely pissed.
Basically my 2005 G35 6 Speed (all options) 86,000miles is going to be repaired with a bill from the body shop at 8,525.89. Im not for sure how much these g35's go for but id say TOPS 16K...which means im at 53%....im just shocked.
also my rear bumper has some damage....Nothing had collided with me but somehow between me getting into Ambulance and it being parked out at the repair shop, it was damaged...i told the repair shop to get that fixed as well since it wasnt on the estimate. So figure that price, please price to take to Infiniti and get the airbag system checked out.

if you were not going fast enough for the air bags to deploy... then there is nothing wrong with them... Are you going to file a law suit against INfiniti cause your bag didn't blow?
You know you can go after the other person's insurance (provided they were found at fault) and get compensated for a diminished value of your car due to the accident.

Oh, I read your post... But how bad would it had sucked if the air bags DID go off and your damage was still just a few hundred below it being totaled... I would rather had $8k damage and a fixed car than $14k damage and a fixed car....
