I was just driving down the road earlier and car starts beeping and flashing warning me that seat belt wasn't hooked up and no air bags or something like that. I never wear seat belts but I am usually in my F250....and it beeps then shuts up, as did this car, but the warning light caught my attention and got me to thinking about airbags deploying. I remember once in my truck when plowing snow I hit an object in a parking lot...we hit hard enough that it shoved the plow thru the bumper busting my AC/Radiator, broke my plow off my truck and threw the wife into the windshield giving her a concussion....but no airbags deployed.
What makes an airbag activate? Do you have to have seat belt hooked up for them to go off? Do you have to be hitting brakes? Any of you guys have any ideas or experiences with em?
