Yes I did. But my point is that the impact was not "head on center with the bumper." I think there may be some confusion over semantics going on here. If you're saying that the sensor in the front bumper must be impacted for the airbags to go off, then I would agree with you absolutely. But if you're saying that the collision itself must be head-on, then I disagree. To put it another way, a collision doesn't have to be head-on in order for the sensor in the front bumper to be impacted. The impact to my 350 was not head on -- I was turning left when a minivan hit my front passenger side just ahead of the front wheel. Obviously it was enough of an impact to trigger the airbag sensor. But it wasn't a head-on collision is all I'm saying.
