sorry to hear about the crash. I had one back in june/10 and the air bags did not go off but I walked away but the car was a right off. I wondered about the airbags too.did some research and found out that the new airbags in all the new cars are like that in the yaris and they just do not go off like they did even three years ago. so just be happy everybody lived and go on with life

Yaris are not the best in crashes.. But there still great cars it's a matter of mass their to small to be super safe if you want a tank buy an suv.

having been in a frontal collision in my 2007 yaris 3dr hatchback, I can say without a doubt that the airbag deploying did not slow my body from forward motion. when it hit me it hit my face and a bit of my neck.
many times airbags can be dangerous and painful, thankfully my experience was not. Toyota, as most car companies do, go through a hundreds of hours of testing and retesting of safety equipment just so you have the least amount of injuries possible during a crash. the airbag's main purpose, as said in an earlier reply, is to prevent the head from snapping around and slamming into things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbag read the first sentence, or if you will that whole first paragraph. the seatbelt is the main slowing force of the body, and the guy driving that car should be happy he is alive from a frontal collision, and without a broken neck. |

I work in an emergency room and airbags will mess you up for sure.. It's not a big fluffy pillow that magically appears to make things all better.

Yeah, think of it more like a boxer punching you in the face at full force (with a glove). That's why smaller people can be killed if they sit too close. |

that would be awesome and when you hit the big fluffy pillow it squeeks

i dunno about it being prevented but he's lucky thats all he got! a friend of mine was recently got ran off the road and hit head-on with a telephone pole @35mph and bags deployed: result in getting whiplash, burns on both forearms from airbag, left hand sprained from bag forcing it to hit door glass, broken nose and 3 fractured ribs! if you ask me your story hold no weight! why was there no video of inside of the car? hhhmmmm! i mean come on now you take the time to write up and video this IMO !!!!! but clearly no proof of interior! were the doors locked? or was the car too messy inside? |
