Front Air Bag problems of the 1998 GMC Jimmy

Frontal accident to my 1998 Jimmy at 35 mph. Extensive front damage to the vehicle and neither air bag deployed. No air bag codes everything was functioning properly. Both police officers agreed that with the type of accident there should have been a deployment of the airbags. Because of no deployment I was injured and had to go to the hospital to determine the extent of my injuries.

Was driving 30mph when an object appeared in the road. Avoided object, but hit telephone pole. Upon impact with the pole, neither air bags deployed. Both driver/passenger were belted. Driver hit steering wheel & broke nose in two places. Passenger hit handle above air bag & lost some front teeth. Emergency room treatment. Vehicle was repairable.

I was struck head-on (right of vehicle center) by a drunken driver. My speed was approx 30mph and his was approx 50mph. The impact of the collision sheared off the front axle and right front tire and rolled my vehicle onto the driver's side. Neither air bag deployed.
