I wonder if there's any deployment data (vehicle speed, brake status at the point of impact, etc...) in the airbag controller's memory that would help your cause. You'd need the Hyundai scan tool to access it if any exists. I would imagine the car's totalled if the bags went off.

The broken windshield is normal - the passenger bag in most vehicles is designed to "bank" off of the windshield due to the distance between the dash and passenger occupant. This is why you don't have just anyone using just any type of sealer\adhesive replace a windshield...

Did you hear the bags go off? Most people don't recall it in the shock and confusion of the impact. I have deployed many bags over the years for demonstrations - they sound like a 12-gauge shotgun when they go off.
