I have to wonder did the impact trigger it or did the car figure out it was off the ground and expected a rollover?

I don't work on the airbag systems but I didn't expect them sides to deploy from what was effectively a front end collision when they deployed.

I can say some of the new stuff is pretty tuff, easy to total, but the structure is tough. I broke 1/4" drill bits installing a left hand gas pedal in a Subaru Just drilling trough the floor pan. Not the structure just the approx 18 gauge (less than 1/16") pan. Crazy hard and took forever to drill.
