sorry i meant Newtons using Newton Meters to figure out the speed...
my bad for not being clearer. I am also fairly sure it uses forces not speed since it cant measure speeds of other things hitting the car. It also can depend alot of angular momentum ( since it was a t-bone from a turn). Also the skid marks left would indicate a lot more about how the forces were recieved by both cars. My guess is the moment of impact was a lot less then the impact spread over time. If thats true, that could cause alot of damage but the air bags wouldnt go.

Volunteer since I was 16....
yes I have no life.... I have helped do some accident reconstruction with my townships team at some bad accidents and have learned a lot from it. Then again they just take measurements and use a special computer program to figure everything out.
