I have to ask.

If a semi was to run over you how much protection do you really think a bag full of air would have provided you??

Air bags usually only deploy in a front end crash or from the side if equipped with side impact air bags. Glad that you're ok.

All the best.

It would depend on the angle/speed of impact, wouldn't it? If you are going forward, and the semi is moving in the same direction, I would think it would depend on the severity of the collision and possibly the type of car you are driving. I was in the passenger seat of a RAV4 a few years back, and some fool trying to beat out a red light slammed into our car as we were making a left hand turn. He clipped the back of our car at full steam (there were no skid marks to indicate he tried to stop or even slow down), and spun us around. Our front airbags deployed, I'm guessing because we lost control of the car. Good thing, too, as we probably would have gotten really hurt otherwise. A bit different than your experience, but the same principle would apply.

You were nearly hit by a fast moving semi and you wondered why the airbags didn't deploy?

Why would they? Out of sheer fright?

No, because you got rear ended. Dont merge on the freeway with the speed limit of 75 doing only 35.

Bet that taught you to get the heck out of the way next time ,huh.

If it ran over you then no they should not have deployed...
