Airbags didn't deploy...why? 850 96

posted by  someone claiming to be Red Dragon on  Thu Dec 20 07:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

(This is strictly a informational question, please save the

flames/ethical/moral stuff for another time)

Tuesday night I was involved in a high-speed, near fatal crash. I

rolled my car ('96 Volvo 850 T5) twice and hit a pole. I hit the

roadbank at ~60mph and started into the rolls before snapping a

telephone pole in half.

The car was absolutely destroyed (obviously), but somehow I'm alive.

The state troopers, EMTs, rescue crew, etc. were completely amazed I

lived (I guess they always say that though).

Not a single air-bag deployed.

When I bought the car used (all of 2 months ago), I was told it had an

IPD motortronic computer upgrade. Is this why the air-bags didn't

deploy?
