Another tacoma goes to the big mud hole in the sky

Last night a guy did not yield when he was turning and pulled out in font of me when I was bringing friends home after work. It was a newer dodge pickup with a double cab. I'll have to get photos of his truck from my friend. I wonder why the air bags did not go off?...

 

Sux man glad your ok ....

 

Are you alright?

Taco's sure can take a hit!

 

sorry to hear about your truck man!

 

That is kinda crazy tho that the airbags didnt deploy. That front end is pretty smashed in. Sorry to hear about the truck tho, major bummer

 

oh noes! hope you're alright!

 

What speed were you going? I may be wrong, but I think you have to be going over a certain speed for the airbags to deploy.

 

Bull bar, glad you're ok.

 

Looks like you have a Westin brush bar , maybe that is why

 

looks like to me your bumper(think airbag sensors are behind the bumper) didnt get the direct hit being you hit a high truck.good to hear your ok though

 

looks fixable

 

Glad you are ok.

 

glad your ok
mabye someone stole your airbags???
did u buy new

 

Oh no. Sorry to hear that. I loved your two-tone truck. Hopefully it can be fixed.
Glad to hear that you are okay - that is the most important thing.

 

The airbags only deploy if the deceleration profile is severe enough to warrant it.

The big idea is that deploying the airbags has a risk of secondary injury and in certain accidents not very useful - or, the collision causes secondary collisions that the airbags would be more useful for. So, the airbag computer actually looks at the data as it comes in and makes a decision.

Car companies spend a lot of money and time improving and refining the programming of these computers. That'd be a fun job, I think.

 

I was doing about 30ish. Well my truck is about a foot or so shorter and I'm thinking they can fix it IF they plastic dipping it!

 

Glad your okay, that looked like a wicked hit! Tacoma saves another life.

 

Actually it looks pretty good considering. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. I would say it is definitely repairable.

 

for a wreck from 30 MPH it held up pretty well. Good luck on the repair and glad your all ok.
