I crashed my JImny. Hard enough to break bones in my foot, and the airbags didn't deploy.
If you bump a JImny off-road hard enough to deploy the airbags, then I think you would be glad they deployed.

Bert,
I think I read somewhere they'd only go off over 20mph and under mechanical impact to the body/chassis (don't know how that would be calculated) so they're not likely to go off when the wheels hit something. However if you were doing 20mph off road and hit somethink you'd be glad if they did deploy!!

I have slightly bent one of the tubular box sections of my winch bumper as the tree refused to move over - the airbag didn't deploy - so I think you have to be pretty nutty to set one off.
