Just slowly crashing into something will not deploy the airbags...there must be forceful deceleration of the vehicle for it to deploy.

I would think that a direct hit of something at 25-30 mph should deploy the front airbags???/
Sure, here's the thread:

The driver of the minivan did not have his brake lights on even though they were almost at a stop. They hit at about 30mph.
