    I WAS JUST IN AN ACCIDENT THREE DAYS AGO AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I WAS MOVING AT A SPEED TO ACTIVATE BALM (35-45 MPH). MY NECK IS NOW IN ALOT OF PAIN AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. IT WAS SUCH A HARD HIT MY BACK WHEELS CAME OFF THE GROUND! IT WAS A T BONE HIT, BUT IHIT SQUARE WITH DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL, AND WITH STOPPING TIME. I BELIEVE THAT MY NECK WOULD HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.*AK
