It is a misconception that air bags deploy at a certain speed. I think this might come from bumpers being rated to take a hit at a certain speed without damage, not sure where this thought came from but many many people have it. There are sensors that have to be hit (pretty sure on this model there are two that are in the front low/mid on core support), in order for the bag to deploy. It is really strange, I've looked at many vehicles that have the front ends just wiped out and no deployment, and on closer exam. the sensors aren't even scratched. Hit came in too high or low etc. Have also seen bags pop when a vehicle went off road, and the undercarriage was the only damage. If you (and the shop I would get there opinion) think the bags should've gone off, contact Toyota, there are people (at all manu) who's job it is to go out and investigate these very things (why didn't the bags go off). Hope no one was hurt.

In the proper type of collision, the airbag could go off if you are sitting still. It has to do with the "G" force of the collision, not the speed of travel.
