I WAS INVOLVED IN A RARE END COLLISION ON AN ICY ROAD. I BRAKED AND THE CAR ESSENTIALLY SLID DIRECTLY INTO AN 18 WHEELER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FORWARD MOTION ON A HIGHWAY DOING AROUND OR BELOW EST 40MPH. UPON IMPACT THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY DESPITE THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE SEEN. INJURIES WERE MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES AND WHIPLASH. SEAT BELTS DEFINITELY DID THEIR JOB SINCE THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DO ITS JOB.
