thats what i was meant to ask my air bags didnt go off what cud of this been down to,i differtly hit the barrers hard enought 4 them to go off  :cry:.

Yeah, I'd have thought that would've been hard enough to set them off.  There are sensors in the car which detect the energy of a crash.  Can't have been hard enough, then??

Another explanation is if the airbag light was on the dash or an airbag fault has never been cleared, then I think all airbags are automatically deactivated
