Nice thorough post. I was wondering why the Euro NCAP crash test video I posted this afternoon disappeared.

I wonder why the side curtain airbags didnt deploy in the frontal crash test, you could see the dummy hit the A-pillar pretty hard. I think it would have helped with head injuries if they had deployed.

I noticed that the seat belts didn't seem to pre tension very well. In fact they seemed to reel out rather than pre grip. Any comments?
