Picture of my recent Accident
So i was in an accident where my car was hit directly in the drivers side fender/door. By the looks of the picture it was a pretty big accident. Any ideas as to why you guys think the airbag didnt deploy?

Based on that picture it doesn't look like it hit the places where the sensors for the airbags are, that's probably why they didn't deploy.
