Mountaineer no more

Hey folks, well my mounty is a total loss, rolled over three times, but the most important part is my son and nephew sustained only very minor injuries. My question to you all is... Should the front and side airbags have deployed? The vehicle ramped up a slight imbankment, nosedived on the passenger side headlight and rolled what looks like 3 times and came to rest on the passenger side. The front bumper is unmolested the airdam portion where the foglight used to be is gone. At least this vehicle took care of protecting my boys...heart still hasn't quit racing yet. I hope none of you parents out there have to get a phone call like I got Sunday afternoon.

Thanks

Well first I'm glad no one was seriously injured! How did it happen? Do you have any pics of it? I know there are airbag sensors right behind the top of the bumper beside the framerails. What is the insurance company going to give you for it?

Rookie mistake, Lost control on a gravel road around a tight corner, looks like he panicked and hit the gas instead of the brake. Insurance company only wants to give $8900 for it.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It great to hear everyone was okay. I rolled my Sport Trac three times and didnt deploy one airbag.
