An airbag will deploy if you hit a parked car at about 28 mph

, about half that if you hit a brick wall, and probably about 35mph for offset strike.

A combined speed of about 28mph would wake me up

The airbag did not deploy when our last MCS met its grizzly end...

The car hit a crash barrier at approx 65mph and all reports suggest there was no fault with airbag system.
