(I'm sorry, this is kinda off topic, but I'll be quick.)
Aren't they supposed to deploy with any and all head on collisions ? Anyone know ?
When I read this post, I realized that mine didn't, a few months ago.
There is a sensor in the bumper that deploys the airbag. If the sensor is not involved, the airbag does not deploy. My Mom's bumper went under the bumper of the truck in front of her so did not deploy.
You are LUCKY your airbag did not deploy. If you do a search on airbag injuries, it will scare you.
As far as Haleigh being in an accident and getting injured by an airbag, why they need to cover it up? I just do not see them going to all the trouble that a missing child would involve for any injury that would not result in a murder charge.
IMO, it had to be an injury that they could not explain away as an accident or even negligence. It would have been much easier to claim that Ron left the kids with TN, TN asked Misty to babysit because she was sick, and Haleigh got hurt under Misty's care. That would have played the same way as saying she disappeared on Misty's watch without all the attention of LE and the National media.
IMO, Haleigh was injured in a way that they were facing serious charges so they decided to cover it up. They then shifted the timeline of when Haleigh "went missing" to later than the actual incident thinking that LE would not look at earlier in the day.
