“Following a slip on the road I am the victim of an accident on the edge of a Hyundai santa fe. The car struck the mountain, but the airbags failed to activate in the accident resulting in a frontal impact, which caused me serious injury. Why the airbags are not triggered ?? The car made several rotations and suffered irreversible damage and despite everything the airbags were not triggered.”
