i'm surprised that , they didn't go off, i'm also surprised your un injured . a 60km /hr impact is deemed fatal in most cases .

i hit a car up the rear, i was doing 80km/s hr/ and braking, so i guess the impact was around 40kms hour, the car i hit went air bourne (falcon sedan) and hit a wall , the car i hit , suffered more front damage, than it got from my hit into the back.
my car had the radiator pushed into the engine as well, my airbags didnt go off ,and i didnt expect them too. the car i was driving was an EL FALCON futura.
my point being , the car i hit was written off front and back, and my car was almost written off , at a 40km/hr impact . if you hit at 90kms /hr / the other car must of absorbed the impact and saved your life . otherwise your engine would be sitting on your lap. and your airbag would've broke your nose and knocked a few teeth out .
your one seriousely lucky dude mate . this is a credit too ( accident design engineering).
