AIR BAGS
I HAD AN ACCIDENT AT STOWE MTN. RESORT ON ROUTE 108 THAT INVOLVED A FRONT END COLLISION ABOUT 20 DEGRESS FROM FRONT CENTER OF THE FORD RANGER TRUCK.

HIT A WALL AND FORD SAYS NO PROBLEM WITH TRUCK AS FAR AS AIR BAGS, BUT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER NOR FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED!
