I thought they were based on deceleration by having a ball bearing (or similar) held across 2 contacts by magnetism. If the whole car decelrates suddenly, the bearing is thrown free by inertia and deploys the system.
Or am I wrong
Wasn't it a thieves trick in early Ford airbag systems to bump the front at very low (5mph) speed to dislodge the bearing. When the system activates it unlocks the car and disables the alarm/immobilisor so as not to hinder potential emergency services. If they deploy with such little provocation, that one should surely have gone off.

That is the most disgusting looking Impreza I have ever seen in my life 
Absolutely foul colour.
I note there are no skid marks, perhaps he fell asleep at the wheel?

how can it be knock for knock? 
It's the scoob drivers fault, the back of his car is undamaged and the front is totalled so he has driven into the truck at 60mph. Simple

Lorries really can do some damage, surely if the bar was lower it would actually be safer, as the car wouldn't go under!?

The ambulance emergency number is 000. (Aussie)
The number on the truck has a dialling code of 08. (South Aussie although the truck could have been travelling interstate)
The number plate looks Vic at first glace, but then I haven't seen a SA plate yet.
I just got told that it apparently happened in Adelaide.
Also looks like the force of the car hitting has actually snapped the lower bar so I dbout whether or not it being lower would have made much difference.
I don't know much about the car, but the airbags may well have been disabled if it is possible to do that with the passenger side?
This has been posted up over on Aus sites a while ago, but I am unsure of whether the driver was ok.
