What type of crash deploys a side Airbag?
Side Airbags are designed to activate in crashes where the point of impact is on the side of the vehicle. The crash commonly called “T-bone” – where the front of one vehicle impacts the side of another – would activate a side bag. Most side crashes take place at intersections. Some side Airbag systems are designed to work when the side of the vehicle strikes a pole or tree or when the vehicle rolls over.
