It doesn't look like the damage was severe enough to trigger the airbags. It's probably a good thing too. Having it deployed isn't exactly like resting your head on a pillow. I've seen people walk away with their face bruised up after it's deployed. It's meant to save your life, not prevent injury. It also looks like you skimmed of the barrier... in which case, the impact would have been a lot less (maybe equivalent to a 5-10mph impact)than a head on 55mph impact. If it were a 55mph impact, the driver seat and passanger seat would be occupying the same space. You don't know how lucky you are. Best of luck in getting her fixed.
