so does anybody know how much force it takes for a airbag to go off?? saturday i was offroading with a bunch of jeeps..i hit a mound of dirt pretty good and the airbag didnt go off..but im sure it was close as it shoved my bumper back..bent my front driver side fender and broke a sway bar link bolt.. broke my grill and my headlight screws

don't know hard it takes but both the impact sensor near the bumper and safeing sensor in the sdm module(usually near the center console) need to trip to deploy the airbags
