Of course the airbag didnt go off, it was a side impact.
Damn lucky that it hit where it did, any further back toward the cabin and you could kiss at least legs goodbye. |

You all realize that most of that damage occured cutting them out? The roof and sides were obviously cut off.. Its a big hit no doubt but the car was opened up like a tin can by the jaws of life, not the accident.

I see cars like this and worst daily, it's a shame. There's one car that didn't wife of 5!! I'm glad he got out ok though, nothing worst than a that. The facts i could tell..... One just recently, two occupentd were not so lucky because the vehilce burst into flames before they could get out. Very sad indeed. It's always good to see people come out alive.

it was one of our cars from the South East, believe it was hit by a semi, and the driver stepped out with a couple of cuts. I think it was 7 stitches in his arm.
Five weeks ago one of my crews had an accident - sorry crash, and it was probably similar to this, not an actual head on collision, and hit a stobie pole at about 70>80 k's. They weren't injured, and again the air bags didn't deploy. I had a talk to our Fleet Services about it, and they said that they have raised it a number of times with Holden's, and Holden's normally send down an engineer and a air bag expert and the reason the bags didn't deploy is that it isn't a head on crash, and the angle of attack when the collision occurred. One observation of Fleet is that the cabin module is stronger and this is responsible for a lot of people walking away uninjured. In our case neither the roof or floor pan were wrinkled. Apparently Holden's attitude is that if the occupants walked away either uninjured or with minor injuries, then the car design worked,

The top police car is a South Australian Police car. The badge can be seen on the qtr panel. Dunno where the blue one is from.
