I had an accident this morning...totalled my 2003 F-150 King Ranch truck. My estimated speed was 30 mph when a woman crossed directly in front of my driving a saturn.  My airbags did not deploy...hers did.  I have facial lacerations and both knees were jammed.  Is there any known problem with Ford airbag failures in this light?  I have been told that speeds must exceed 30-35 for the bags to deploy  Is this correct?  Had they deployed, I would not have sustained these injuries.

then why have air bags.  I paid extra for the side bags.  I was in a car accident.  I was driving around 65.  freeway in LA.  It was late at night, no traffic.  some one hit me from behind,  i ended up skidding, ran head on into road blocks, not one but 3, then went back and forth on the side of the mountain, then down the mountain to a guard rail, skidded, to finally stop.  i had 2 people with me.  few injuries, but i got the worse of it.  the air bags didnt deploy.  can you believe that.  then dont have them i feel. to much trouble, and they hype it up to make you feel air bags are the best. so buy them. pay extra.  BS i feel....
