Driving approximately 40 to 43 mph when another vehicle turned directly in front of me. Total frontal damage buckling up hood on my car as I hit other vehicle in front-end passenger side. Their airbag deployed but mine didn't, even with total front end damage to my car. Had seatbelt on, but due to impact still pulled my whole body forward (like crash test dummy). This was a very hard crash totaling my car.

While traveling in slow traffic, the car in front of my wife stopped. By the time she noticed they stopped it was too late and she hit the back of their Ford Explorer moving at around 20-30mph. The front end of our Trailblazer was crushed. My daughter and wife were wearing their seat belts. The officers and paramedics on the scene were shocked that the airbags did not come out with the amount of front end damage. They had to cut the battery wires to prevent the airbag from coming out later when she cleaned out the Trailblazer. An example of how much damage was taken to the front end, the corner fenders were pushed back so far they couldn't open wither front door. The fenders were crushed into the doors keeping them shut. I would think with an impact like that the airbags would have came out, it was a square hit meaning even damage across the front end.
