I hope what you noticed is something they learned from the test. The air bag looks like it deploys from the top down. That design is probably fighting the curve of the top rail. Bottom up deployment would probably work better in this car and give more protection for the small driver.

One thing I noticed on the green car is that there is no side impact, yet the side curtain air bag is deployed. This suggests the side air bag deploys on ANY impact, regardless of the direction.
