Up in the air
IT'S hard to say the airbags should have deployed without knowing more about the crash, but my feeling is they probably wouldn't have at that speed. Deployment is a last resort in a crash that would otherwise be life-threatening. At 40km/h the impact would probably have been absorbed by the crumple zones. It was probably low impact, even though the Jeep sustained a lot of damage.
