Its been said that most car companies make it so where airbags deploy based on the impact. It is said that the airbag will not deploy until the impact generates 7 G's of force. For most vehicles that speed is equivalent to hitting an object at 12 mph or hitting another vehicle at 25 to 30 mph. It is dependent upon the impact of the crash.

Top mounted bags tend to be safer when seat belts are utilized. Air bags have different methods to enhance or restrict the gas flow into the bag. The rate of gas release into an air bag can be tailored depending on the severity of the collision which is a characteristic of the better designs. The lower the speed of the collision, the less need for fast inflation.
