1. A system for determining when to deploy a vehicle safety system, the system comprising:

  • a processor;

    an inertial sensor, the inertial sensor having a filtered output and an unfiltered or lightly filtered output, wherein the unfiltered or lightly filtered output is in communication with the processor and provides inertial information relating to the vehicle and the filtered output is in communication with a vehicle stability control system;

    where the processor is configured to use the filtered output for inertial measurement unit purposes;

    wherein the processor is configured to monitor the unfiltered or lightly filtered output of the inertial sensor to determine if the inertial information indicates that the vehicle has been in a collision; and

    wherein the processor is configured to deploy a vehicle safety system when the inertial information indicates that the vehicle has been in a collision.
