In all of the incidents, air bags deployed. 5 of the 8 incidents were in simulation. The simulations likely have extremely realistic models for safety critical features such as airbag deployment (which relies on specific sensors in the vehicle).

Or they just looked at what portion of the car got in the simulated collision and and were like "yup, that's where the bag sensor is".
