The reason that the airbag didn't deploy is because you hit an energy-absorbing barrier. It slowed down the deceleration to below the threshold required to set off the airbag.

Really, I'm glad you weren't more seriously injured, and I hope your whiplash isn't too bad. Some of us get bent out of shape when we see such a beautiful machine get busted up like that. 'Sorry I bit your head off.

You can tell from your pictures that the car hit with very little front end force. It appears most of the impact was lateral. The front shows very little crushing from a direct forward impact. The airbag should not deploy nor is it designed to deploy under those conditions. It worked as it should.
