Lucky escape! Even in our old Swedish bricks, I know a head-on collision is not fun :O Upon reading this, I was reminded of the "Sold for Life" story. Enjoy :)

A 1990 would be an airbag model I think, which is lucky for Ms. Hoy. Too bad they don't say how fast she was going.

None of the UK spec classic 900s I've owned [1] had airbags. I'd say she was almost definitely wearing her seatbelt.
[1] I've had 4: a 2x 1985, 1x 1987 and 1x 1993 (16v SE). I currently have a 1985 8v, injection, 4 door.
IIRC by 1990 all cars sold in the US were *required* to have at least a driver's side airbag, though I've never been real fond of them myself.
