It is not speed it is G-Force (Acceleration). and his big truck "Absorbed" much more of the impact (Suffered less acceleration) than the drunk's little car did.

In my time as a police dispatcher and since I have heard of ONE accident where air bags deployed and the people in the car they deployed in were not injured.. .Yet many accidents with comparable size vehicles where, like the O/P here. no deployment, no injury.
What caused the injuries when the bag deployed.. The bag, of course.
