as a collision repair tech I can tell you that they didn't go off cause sensors behind bumper cover were not disturbed.

I gotta agree with Silver. Since it didn't hit the bumper, chances are you didnt slow down fast enough for the sensors to activate. On the older cars you had to have an abrupt jolt to activate them. Even as slow as 10 mph would set them off.

If you had read my comment beneath silvers you would noticed that the sensor is not in the bumper but next to the hoodlatch and near the top of the radiator.

Second of all the car did stop dead and we ended up 10 feet back from the truck before we stopped.
