I am in collision repair as well, 8 years and counting. The modern stuff is getting so fragile, a new fender for a crossover feels like a couple loafs of bread weigh wise, and razor sharp on the edges as well due to the thin metal. What I have noticed with the newer GM's is that it does not take much to set off the curtain air bags. 2 deer hits in the last 4 months that the deer hit the fender, and spun back around into the door triggering the side impact sensor, locking up the front seat belt extenders and tensioners, one seat air bag, and both curtain air bags. Did another one that hit a cow this summer too. One was a Traverse I just painted yesterday.
