“Driving in a light rain, I lost control at 75mph and hit the rear of a semi trailer. The car started to slide sideways and I pressed the brakes hard and the car began to skid. The skid continued until my car reached the shoulder, whereupon it began to roll. The car rolled a total of three times and came to rest on its wheels. Even though the roof and all four doors had extensive body damage, none of the airbags deployed. I was restrained by the seat belt but I feel that the airbags should have deployed. The car was totaled and sold for scrap.”
