There is very little acceleration by the head when the bag senses an eminent collision and deploys as the car hits the rear wheel and the person starts to go back. I do not think or trust they can design a sensor that would deploy when it needs to without misfiring all the time. And if it fires, you have to buy a whole other one.

Rather than merely speculating, one could look into it, given that this product is released and thus well studied and reviewed. If anything it seems to lean towards not deploying, as in minor accidents it won't go off. A decent insurance policy should cover much of the cost of replacement.
