Because the amount of Gs in a frontal crash into a wall (immovable object) is high enough to even set off the curtain airbag sensor. Crashing into a wall at 60km/h is worse than T-boning another car at 80km/h (guessing numbers). If you look at TV reports of fatal head on collisions on the freeway at 80km/h, the passengers die but the car has less damage than the Euro in this vid.
