Airbag Deployment in Slow Motion

[LolaLavonda]

in an interstellar burst, i am back to save the universe...

[dickcheney6]

How does the cover open up? I've always wondered that

[atsernov]

@dickcheney6 The airbag rips through the decorative cover, which simply flaps out of the way. When the airbag is replaced, the new module comes with the decorative cover as a complete assembly.

Is like a big slap on the face, like the slap you're parents give to you when you was young. The slap will form you giving a lesson from mistakes and save your life.

[Pokemon7785]

Thats a safety feature?? LOLZ!

[TheZenPerspective]

I know this is a very irrelevant comment, but don't you find it weird thinking that we only just saw a slight fraction of what just happened as videos are recorded in frames? It's just amazing how we can work out what we are seeing by not actually having to see all of it. It's the same with compressed audio files - they are cut up into chunks, then pushed together to make the file smaller, enough so we can here most of it, but without actually having to hear the whole sound itself. Weird lol.

[polartechman]

I saw it once,its fucking fast :)

[LethalJizzle]

My mum sits about 30cm from the wheel. If the airbag went off it would likely hurt more than the crash by blasting her back into the seat.

[danzkee2007]

oh its a driver airbag, taken in side view using high speed camera.

[ro0tt]

Today an airbag saved my life, i was sitting beside my driver going to my school, he slept on the high way and we crashed into a bus.. I've gotten 8 stitches but thank god anyways :)

[DiesesedCow]

0:06 - my girl friend

0:26 - your mom

[ryab134]

i am only thiteen and i was in a naccident and i broke my nose as i was in a car crash 1 year ago i think air bags are great thank god!!!

[AdziTV]

I came here from NASA.

[musclekid13]

Mine went off, broke my nose, burnt my face.

[StalkersOfPripyat]

Air Boob

[Tbolt1000TForLife]

@StalkersOfPripyat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[rmack1205]

those things cost more lives then they save

[nasonguy]

@rmack1205 One saved my life fool.

[mondychan]

my head hurts from the "bang" it makes,it was so loud!...got hit in low speed and it actually made me more "shocked" than the hit....im damn deff for 10 hours now :( but it sure is very good thing to have!

[videomasters12345678]

holy shit and thats slow mo

[whattheheck1000]

@videomasters12345678 Yes, and it saves your life.

[whattheheck1000]

I'd say each of those small squares equal 2 cm...so the bag extends about 38 cm max and is 30 cm fully inflated.

[MrZMON]

oooooooooooooooooo coolioooo :D

[tkrulez297]

i never found out where the front of the wheel(where you honk the horn) goes.. does it just disappear?

[whattheheck1000]

@tkrulez297 it opens like a door.

[OldTimeyJunk]

@tkrulez297 No, the airblag blows the car logo out of the way, it sometimes stays on but sometimes it blows of - but it never hits your face

[Yoshipizza9]

That's 200 MPH!

[Ibhenriksen]

if only my girlfriends boobs would expand like that overnight.

[Master11782]

lol, i hear that

[HuskyWolfy]

jeez, at like 0:07 that airbag is SO poofy o.o

[Hopeys42]

In a fast german car, i'm amazed that i survived

an airbag saved my life

[ChrisBennett18]

hmmmm is there another way from putting a bomb

[bakinblack1]

There literally a bomb inside your car to make this happen do quickly

[Autumnhammy]

jeez looks like a fucking zoo in there lol.

[SpeedingHedgehog]

That's pretty cool!

[OldTimeyJunk]

I remeber one time we hit a small ditch and they airbags deployed, i was in the back - the airbags went so quickly that it tore the mirror thing (on the celing) and it hit my face! There was no damage to it but the bottom of it was prorebly wrecked and the dashboard was totalled too...

[Klamath2046]

My airbag saved my life. Or at least my face

[squeemishly1]

@Klamath2046 yeah me too but my eyes got scratched

[Misterb0z]

@Klamath2046 I'm amazed that you survived.

[whattheheck1000]

@Klamath2046 Were you in a fast German car? I'm amazed that you survived. In an interstellar burst, you are back to save the universe!

-Radiohead song reference

[GivepeaceachanceJL]

@whattheheck1000 You'd have to be in a deep, deep sleep not to understand that one!

[whattheheck1000]

@GivepeaceachanceJL Or someone who knows nothing about Radiohead... which I used to be, until I wisened up.

[jooelpe]

@Klamath2046 Same happened to me 2 days ago, I crashed my Mustang against a three, and the airbag saved my life.

[albyt93]

@Klamath2046 me too! Thanks Ranault eingeneers!

[rulermy3]

is that a question or a statement?

[pipiri45654]

i DONT want to see this live in front of me

[H264codec]

You won't. It is way too fast.

[xYsephiroth666Yx]

@pipiri45654 i actually did 0.0 horrible

[blockeda]

@pipiri45654

no kidding!!... i clicked the play/pause button in the bottom right corner twice really fast every few seconds and it looks like it takes 18.877 milliseconds for the balloon to hit the first " i " in "BIODYNAMICS" on the vertical lines. i dont know the length measurments but i gotta agree with ya

[sonnylatchstring]

@pipiri45654 dead ain't no use...

[OldTimeyJunk]

well, they will do some sort of damage as they have gunpowder (no..REALLY!!!) so they set off really quick

[boywithcamera7]

@OldTimeyJunk

not gunpowder, but highly reactive materials attached to an electric conductor yes.

[OldTimeyJunk]

@boywithcamera7 is that what that flash is at the start?

[thweepz]

yea she was fine. this happened in like 2003. i strted 3rd grade and it was my first day of skool haha. now im goin in2 freshman yr in high skool

[thweepz]

when my mom got into an accident in her honda accord her airbags went up and hit the windshield and they didnt even touch her

[fashionskiller]

when i crashed in my honda civic the air bags worked perfeclty, my and my passenger had no scratch

[Renpolo]

That was her first mistake, driving a honda....ever wonder why asians have flat faces? There is your answer! *WHACK* dashboard....god dammit not again. hahahaha jk jk lol

[whattheheck1000]

What kind of car's the airbag from?

[itsjessebouldin]

why was there a flash at the first part..?

[BiodynamicsEng]

The flash is a visual cue for Time=0. In other words, the flash shows when the airbag was triggered.

[TheMostAwesomeMan242]

@BiodynamicsEng why is there smoke when a air bag deploys?
