Didnt see a tsx? Did anyone notice on the TL that the passenger side bag deployed? I didn't think that would happen if no one was in tha passenger seat.

TSX is there. You have to scroll down to select it.

I wish they would rate also on the size of the driver as far as safety. I'm 6'3" and 310lbs and my wife is 4'11" and 125 lbs. I imagine the rating is based on a average person of 5'6" to 5'10" 125lbs to 165lbs.

Well, it's interesting how accurate the testing truly is. I was involved in a wreck in my '05 TSX, had 4 airbags go off, and only sustained a minor (but painful) injury to my left knee.

Keenunnguesser, I was the only person in the car but the impact was right front side. Here are the airbags that deployed (Plus the steering wheel one, not in picture):

Did you get this off Digg?
I saw it on there a couple days ago.
Is 'satisfactory' their version of good(as in our version of quality, not their 'good,' which may be excellent, if you can understand the horrible mess of a thing I'm trying to say)?

After watching all the side impact test, I'm kind of glad I have side air bags now. If anything they stop the shattered glass from flying into your face.

Me too. I must have watched a few dozen crash tests last night. The Saturn Ion was fun to watch to see how bad a crash could be. So was the Silverado. I thought it was kind of insulting to one dummy where in one crash test (3 series convertible, I think) the driver's side rearview mirror got launched by the impactor and hit the dummy in the face...
