This has actually been posted previously afaik. I could be way off too, but I thought that the lady became a member and was talking about it. Might be confused with a different forum, but don't think so.

There are many reasons why an airbag may not deploy in a crash. There have been a couple of other threads on here where people complained of similar incidents. Looking at the pictures in this one, my bet would be that either (A) The battery was disconnected due to the force of the impact (I have seen a few now where the positive battery terminal has been sheered off due to a hard frontal impact) or (B) the severed harness to the left front airbag sensor caused the system to go into a fault condition before the impact could have been registered.

on topic though, if Toyota closed the case it could be because this is the user's fault. Or probably what Scott mentioned. We can't be sure, but i doubt Toyota will just let go if it's their fault. |

Re post #7, that has to be the most mangled Toyota (as a result of an accident) that I have ever seen. What if the cannisters on that truck had been disturbed.....the proximity to the overhead wires *.
* - might not be as close as it looks, given the angle the picture is taken from, but still! |

Well, I wonder if these air bags deployed... This guy was super lucky, or Yaris makes one hell of a cockpit.

Someone on a facebook page in yarisclub.net posted this 2 months ago. Its all in Thailand so i dont know the details. Iy very well could be someone posing after yhe wreck. But i dont see any blood, and who else would be able to take their detroyed car somewhere and post pictures of it on facebook? Ill try to find it again and translate as much as i can

OTOH, look at that arm and hand on what looks like a hydraulic cylinder right below the guy that looks like it is being used to spread the door opening to let the guy crawl out...
