When your airbags are deployed means you've had an accident. |

This is usually mentioned with regard to sale of an accident damaged car, it means that the air bags did not go off so would not need replacing during a repair. |

Usually airbags pop up when you have a head on crash, but if its just a little bump the airbags dont come out, usually under 30 mph, but it depends on where you get hit, I had a crash where I went into the back of someone, and the airbags didnt come up, so they didnt deploy!

It usually means that the force of the impact was not great enough to deploy the airbags. They are designed to deploy at a pre set impact rate otherwise they might pop out on a minor shunt.
If the term is used in a sales context then the seller is trying to say "never crashed" |

Unless the airbags are off or the crash was under 15 miles per hour then their is a definite problem with the airbags and the car should be taken to your dealership right away. Airbags are crucial to have and if you are ever in an accident they prevent you from flying forward and smashing your head through the windshield. |

If a car's been in a wreck in which the airbag deployed, it means that the airbag in there now is not the "original factory airbag".
Increases the risk that it won't function normally when needed.
Replacement airbags are really expensive, and easy to counterfeit, since you can't actually test an airbag. Which makes it an attractive business for dishonest individuals.
So, airbag not deployed is good. Means the original factory airbag is intact. |

Simple: the air bags did not go off. |

Simply put, the airbags did not inflate when the car was involved in a collision for one reason or another. |
