3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2018

I was driving down the interstate on the way to work around 8 pm. When the car in front of my slammed on their brakes. I reacted in accordance and hit my brakes pretty hard. When I did my truck pulled to the left and took me into the median. When I tried to correct my vehicle the back end started sliding out as I tried to get back on the road. When my truck finally caught traction it shot me to the other side of the road where it did the same thing. Sliding the back end out. This time I was sliding perpendicular to the highway and when my truck found something solid to stop the slide it started to roll. During the crash I was thrown through the windshield after the first roll and knocked unconscious. After I was released from the hospital I went to collect the things from my truck that had been picked up. When I got to the vehicle I noticed that non of my airbags hadn't deployed even though it was a pretty serious crash that totaled my truck. The cab and bed of the truck were both crumpled but not a single air bag had deployed.
