I am not sure if this warrants a complaint but when I wreaked my vehicle my airbags did not deploy. I was traveling about 50mph on a main road it was night time and had started to rain and I hit a cow that was standing in the middle of the road. There was about $8000 dollars worth of damage to my vehicle. I am just curious as to why airbags didn't deploy. Should they have?

Hit a cow on a county road at approx. 55 mph after coming around a curve. No time for any evasive maneuvers. Vehicle went airborne and landed approx. 40 feet from initial impact. Air bags did not deploy. Driver's chest impacted the steering wheel causing hairline fractures to the sternum and a dislocation of the left shoulder and severe bruising of the stomach and hips where the seatbelt was. Driver was airlifted due to injuries. Driver's service dog's seat belt disengaged and was thrown to the back of the vehicle and suffered minor internal injuries and was taken for treatment
