Anyone ever had this happen??

While wheelin', has anyone had their airbags deploy? And if so how did you get back?

 

side curtain and/or front dash airbags?

 

Story Time.....

 

Let’s leave our wives out of this...

 

When TFL was testing the Colorado vs the Tacoma the Colorado airbags deployed

 

That's going to be an expensive trail damage repair !!!

 

Do you need recovered?

 

This reminds me of a Saturday Night live episode where the airbags where jiffy pop popcorn bags.


But In all honesty, either to hard of a nose dive or putting yourself on such a tilt could cause this.

No I have not had it happen and have been pretty sideways.


Or is this just fishing discussions I wounder

 

They didn't yesterday but could have. Was trying to position myself around a tight corner to avoid a fairly large rock coming out of a little creek. Muddy boot slid off brake pedal and onto the gas. Right into the rock i was trying to avoid. Bags didnt go but posed a good question to "what if"

 

I've rammed my truck pretty hard into shit and lawn darted into the ground hard and they haven't gone off yet.

Something very similar to that video. Lol

 

Oh I did that on purpose. Rammed into rocks, came down hard onto rocks. It happens. Pull the air bag fuse before you hit the trails if you are worried about it.

 

Braking with the left foot and gas with the right might be a good skill to learn.... rally drivers use this so they can brake and accelerate at the same time, or steer with the brake. Might help avoid foot slippage in the future.

 

The quote at the end of the video should be your new tag line......"vrrrooommmm.....vrrrooommmm..... Damnit Skip!" Lol

 

Are the sensors an inertia type? If so, you have to be going XXmph w/an extremely fast deceleration. If you're doing, say 10mph, & instantly stop they shouldn't go off. If you're doing, say 25mph or faster, they go off. Old style senors were in the bumper & were a compression type that no matter how fast you were going, if the front penetration was so deep ( ) then they'd go off.
