I believe the decision point is around 35mph - I could be wrong - this is from talking to adjusters when I was a tow man who may or may not have known what they were talking about.

I have seen around 100 wrecks similar to what you describe; I can't think of one where the airbags deployed. Doesn't sound like you needed them, either.

Car mfgs. make sure the bags only go off as necessary; they are a very expensive component to replace for insurance companies. Driver side ones were bad, then passenger side ones made the cost even worse...in most cars, when the passenger side bag triggers, the dash cover is blown straight up and requires extensive work to replace/repair.

Be glad everyone's OK; back off your guns. Too much litigation in this world already.
