Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2003 Honda Element

In my 2003 Element I hit a 500 pound cow in the road at between 50-60 mph from the center of my car to the drivers side. The front fender where the airbag sensor is located was destroyed, as was the hood and bumper. The police were all surprised the airbags hadn't deployed. I contacted Honda, the insurance company, and the body shop to inform them of the fact that the airbags didn't deploy in such an accident, and no one seemed overly concerned other than the police and myself.
