Car crash
Happened to my mate. (but it is true I saw the evidence)

He was driving back from work one day in his newish company car when he saw some idiot speed freak who decides to igmore incoming traffic on a roundabout and power his way across.
Guess who the idiot hit?
Guess what the idiot did afterwards?
Guess what the idiot left behind?

Answers:
My mate.
Drove off at top speed like a little coward.
A large portion of his front bumper behind including his car number plate. What a shame a Policeman saw the whole thing and found the number plate. /cough

Karma got revenge.

Afterwards my mate said he felt quite disapointed that his new airbag in his new car didn;t employ after being in a crash.

Depends where he was hit
If it wasn't from the right angle, apparently they *shouldn't* deploy, because they can do more harm than good.

Airbags rool
I drove a car into a tree at 80mph. Airbag went off and was like bashing my head in a big pillow - quite exciting really.
I was lucky and walked away.

"Angle" my arse!"
My brother worked for a government agency a few years ago, doing a job which involved spending most of the day driving around country roads between farms.

For this they provided him with company cars. my brother drives like an arse and smashed several of them in only a few months.

Point being: He had a Honda accord (new) and came over the brow of a hill to find a Land Rover discovery coming head-on. They were on a little single-track road covered in mud and consequently hit head-on.
The airbag didn't deploy.
The Honda was a complete write-off, as the bonet etc was only about half the length it should have been. Even the Disco was pretty fucked.

Airbags are shite.
