In summary, a new forum member working in a law office sought help regarding a client who was involved in a car accident and received a ticket for failing to yield. They were curious about the speed needed to trigger airbag deployment in a 1999 Mazda Protege. Another forum member suggested referencing a Wikipedia page on airbags, which the law office plans to use in their case.

Hi, I'm new to the forums and need some help. I work in a law office and we recently had a client come in and say she was t-boned by another car and she took the ticket because they said she failed to yield. The airbags in the other mans car deployed because she was hit so hard. Does anyone know how fast this guy could have been going to deploy the airbags? It was a 1999 Mazda Protege if that helps.

Don't worry, I'm not holding anyone to anything :smile:

thanks much! it helped, we just need to subpoena a mechanic to say that this is so since we can't quote wikipedia.
 

1. What is the rate of deployment?

The rate of deployment refers to how quickly a new technology, system, or process is implemented and put into use. It is a measure of how fast a change is adopted and integrated into a company or organization.

2. Why is the rate of deployment important?

The rate of deployment is important because it can impact the success and efficiency of a project. A slow rate of deployment can lead to delays and missed opportunities, while a faster rate can result in a competitive advantage and increased productivity.

3. What factors affect the rate of deployment?

There are several factors that can affect the rate of deployment, including the complexity of the technology, the availability of resources, the level of training and support, and the readiness of the organization to adapt to change.

4. How can the rate of deployment be improved?

To improve the rate of deployment, it is important to have a clear and well-defined plan in place, effective communication and collaboration among team members, and a thorough understanding of the technology being implemented. It can also be helpful to conduct regular evaluations and make adjustments as needed.

5. What are some challenges in managing the rate of deployment?

Some challenges in managing the rate of deployment include resistance to change, lack of resources or support, and unexpected obstacles or delays. It is important to have a contingency plan in place to address these challenges and ensure a smooth deployment process.
