Airbags are defintely meant for much higher speeds.
Thanks for replying, I know that already and was surprised to see the airbags deployed while there was not much damage (visible), asked the owner who was standing nearby (Perfectly alright, with not a hint of injury anywhere). This guy says, he was going at 40ish and hit another car at the crossing. the other car was a Sumo, which got hit on the side, and there was just a small dent on the side door. Nothing else... look below for the damage to SX4
