Texholdem, the air bags will only deploy if there is a frontal impact. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I see no evidence of frontal impact.

A person can have the most horrific, tumble end over end, split the car in two, accident. But if there is no substantial frontal impact, the air bags will not deploy.

Interestingly, the auto manufacturers did a study on people with accidents. They found that as many people didn't have their air bags deploy when they thought they should have, as the number of people who had their air bags deploy when they thought they shouldn't have.
