Speaking truthfully, I honestly have no recollection of the accident or even the previous day; only waking up in a hospital. This due to the mild concussion because my head went throught the screen. Indeed a CTI scan showed bleeding in my skull at the front of my brain, which was another concern.
But it is normal, automatic practice for me to always wear a belt. I have not been informed by any of the various emergency services at the scene that I wasn't wearing it on this occasion . Even though the airbags inflated it is probable that either I hit the windscreen before it inflated or I was thrown to one side of it (not too sure of airbag technology to comment really!)
If anyone else can comment on the 100% effectiveness of airbag deployment in such accidents it would be interesting to note.
