My buddy who worked as a Mechanic at the dealership said it was impossible, airbags don't go of that fast.

Not to mention there’d be a big cloud of talc dust in the air. It would have knocked his head back and fired (inflated) much quicker than that. It would never go off from a purse on the bumper (the sensors are on the frame).....

But who cares?! The world is full of uppity A-Hs like that, and it’s fun to laugh at the thought of that happening to one of them.

(I think so anyway. Thanks for the vid, Hat.)

You don't know

You don't know how much that purse weighed. There might have been more force behind that than you realize. I was married to a woman that carried damn-near everything she owned in her purse.

That was funny, though, staged or not.

If they didn't go off fast they would be useless. Your buddy is wrong.

It's fake... airbags only deploy under severe deceleration, not shock.

Here's how they work.

:wtf:

Incidentally, I have it from very good sources (namely teenagers) that the current usage is "pwned."

Maybe you should update your dictionary!

Yep - But he's still right for stating that was impossible.
He'll be getting confused if we keep this up.

And I'm confused - as I've never heard of pwned in my life.

Your right.. My bad,,,, he's half wrong. I just hate it that people get the idea that airbags "inflate" as seen in movies. They actually explode!

OK - Now I'm really confused....

And as if pwned isn't enough.

There’s a deal at the bottom of this page that states:
4 Free Tires Take a survey and get 4 free tires Limit one per household.

Let’s think about that for a moment.

Limit one tire or limit one deal?
