I think the curse of the Sunlight Silver has been broken.

no the airbags didn't deploy I was surprised also but, everything worked out in his favor in terms of injuries sustained and such, it probably was best in this particular situation that they didnt

The front only has the air bag sensor for the front. The side airbag sensors are elsewhere.
The sensors only work through detecting acceleration/deceleration, triggering them to deploy if they pass certain thresholds of speed (not vehicle speed, acceleration or deceleration velocity change). Rollovers inherently have a low speed deltas, as they only shed a fraction of the vehicle's speed on each minor impact. I can easily see how the airbags didn't trigger. Even gravel in the ditch will soften the impact and reduce the speed delta further.

At least make some **** up and say someone ran you off the road, had a mechanical failure, or you dodged a deer or somethin...
Rolling your car at 45MPH in a 1 vehicle accident makes you look like such a douche. I'm glad you are okay and all... but seems like you almost became a victim of natural selection. :D

I don't know, I respect him more for not trying to make a story up, than I would if he was michael andretti and lying.
Ever notice that the people that make up the stories can't keep the story intact under the questions on here? We know better

What a crazy experience 
to go through!!! The car looks horrible 
Glad that you walked away from it.
The lack of roof damage is quite impressive, considering all the front, rear and side damage. Nice job, Mazda engineers!

Damn dude... glad ur ok. My g/f flipped her truck on a highway doing 60 several months back. Flipped several times cuz she hydroplaned. It was raining and the highway she was on is notorious for that kind of ****.
Luckily she didnt hit any cars. Was a miracle. All she has from that day is one small scar on her back and a fear of that highway lol.
Again, glad to see your ok. It was, and prolly still is nerve racking.
