Ice skating dually

Just some info for everyone out there with a 4x4 drw on ice....
Ice skates like an olympic figure skater.
Also, just thought this was weird, shouldn't the air bags deploy on a front end collision? Especially at 45mph?
Will say this though, when I can afford it, I WILL buy another one. Walked away without a scratch from a head on collision into a concrete divider,says something about the quality of construction.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on if the sensors were hit during impact.

It seems to take a very hard hit for the airbags to deploy on these trucks, sometimes its a good thing, sometimes bad I suppose.... Glad you were ok though!

That might explain why no bag deployment. Sounds like most of the force of impact was from right to left instead of straight on....?

Whadaya doin' drivin 45 on ice??!! (lol)
If you bought the truck used, is there a chance they were deployed before and no one replaced them?

So............ you won't buy a Duallie again?
