I would be expressing my concerns to Ford about the airbags and seats. 
Looking at the pics the reason the airbags didn't go off was because there wasn't enough damage to the front end. In order for the bags to deploy more than one sensor must be tripped, there isn't enough damage to even trip one sensor. You were obviouly stopped back far enough from the Taurus avoid sever damage from that direction anyhow.
Now the seat/seatbelt should not have broken.
