On Saturday, August 1, 2015 at approximately 8:55pm my mother was involved in a 1 car accident on baum rd located in tallahassee, fl. She was the only passenger determined to be in the vehicle at the time of the accident. According to the crash report, D1 (driver one) was traveling westbound on baum rd going the normal posted speed of 55mph, when she veered towards the center of the rd and suddenly turned right veering of the right shoulder of the rd and striking several trees on the drivers side and front end. D1 was wearing her seatbelt and managed to exit out the drivers side window before coming to her final resting place on the shoulder of the rd. When I went to retrieve my mothers things from her Trailblazer, I noticed that no air bags had deployed. And as fast as my mom was going and the type of impact & damage her SUV sustained, I would think and hope the airbags would deploy in this type of accident, thus preventing serious injury or death. My mom was not so lucky, and myself and my family have endured great pain from loosing her so suddenly.
I was on a 4 lane highway traveling eastbound going 50 mph posted speed 55 mph wearing our seat belts, when another vehicle waiting to U - turn in the center median decided to turn right into me-oncoming traffic.

There were 2 incidents in that sequence of events that the airbags should have deployed, but did not! this accident caused several injuries to myself and my passenger.

I was rear ended by a guy doing 40 mph. My truck was lifted in the air and pushed into the rear end of another vehicle. My airbags never deployed and my seat broke!! possible defect in the seat? I was stopped at a red light when the accident happened. The spare tire holder was ripped off my truck.
I was side swiped by another car that went through a red light. My truck then proceeded to hit another car and finally the front end of the truck got airborne and landed with the tires in the front windshield of another car. The truck sustained over $6,000 in damage as well as the front frame where the motor sits was damaged. Insurance company said it could be replaced. Not sure how because it was welded in place. And my airbags never deployed.
