My girlfriend lost control of the suv and hit a tree almost center of
the suv. Bumper of the suv is badly damaged and the hood of the vehicle
buckled. she did have her seat belt on , thank god! she has some
bruises, but other than that she was ok. probably in shock. The vehicle
was assest by a collision investigator with AAA auto club and they said
the car was totaled. However I am just amazed after seeing the
pictures and knowing that none of the airbags deployed. Is there
something wrong with this? I mean I wish I can post some pictures for
everyone to see it. It took me by suprise. why didn't it deploy?

Thank you,
Hok

The air bags will not deploy if the major thrust angle of the collision
falls outside a fairly narrow "window". If it did, it could deflect the
users body at an angle increasing the possibility  or severity of injuries.
