I also wonder about the weather that day. It was giving little sprinkles thru the day. Not enough to make everything wet, just enough to get it slick. I don't know if everywhere else in the country has this, but in Florida we have our version of black ice. The road collects all the fluids in the middle of the road & after a light sprinkle it all rises to the top. If you get "out of the groove" on the road you can start slipping all over the place. We have way more accidents after those light sprinkles than after torrential rain storms. There aren't any traffic cams on those roads & our cars don't come with a black box so there isn't any way to ever know 100% for sure. I think that with your driving skill you probably had more than one thing go wrong that caused a cascade effect. Two wheels off the road on slick grass, maybe without any tire pressure on one or both, two other wheels on slightly damp roads with oil & other fluids on the surface .... Mario Andretti would have been like Bambi on ice - nothing you could do at all. I'm just super glad that you were ok & Molly wasn't with you.

As for the airbag not going off .... there are specific sensors that must be hit for airbag deployment. From the pictures it looks like the doors were in pretty good shape & the bumper was crunched on the sides but doesn't appear to have taken direct frontal impact. I have seen cars hit a pole dead on in the front, but they split the uprights between the sensors without setting off the airbags. Remember that airbags are SRS - Supplemental Restraint Systems. Supplemental seems to be the key word there .... John showed all the power of buckling up!!!
