Just curious if anyone can shed some light.
The seat, and seat belt, have nothing to do with the air bag deployment.

The sensor(s)(some cars have one, some have two) in the front of the car. The sensor(s) evaluates the impact(micro seconds)and deploys the bag(s). The collision, does not have to be "head on", for air bag deployment!
