Now i'm no expert, but given I hit the guy with the front end of my car, and did so with enough power that it wrote my car off, one would think that the air bags would have came out wouldn't they? They didn't in my case, and needless to say I'm more than a little pissed off. Should they have went off? I'm going to go talk to the dealership and don't want to sound like an idiot when I do.

Airbags have a umber of different sensors, I don't remember how many of them have to be triggered for the airbags to go off. For example, front airbags aren't supposed to go of if the car perceives the crash as getting hit from the side.
I don't know whether they should have gone off in your case. If you're ok, and your head didn't snap forward, they might not have been triggered.
