Real Car Airbag Deployment Demo!

**WARNING** DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!
I was doing a chemistry project that explained the reactions happening in the split second in a crash. That involved showing my class one of these, but this is the one I recorded, my "Practice Run." My dog Kana is squawking in the background...until the BOOM!
This airbag module is from a 1995 Saturn.
Open for questions!

why did you kill the dog?

[technocat]

@sargennipple

We didn't, of course.

[sargennipple]

@technocat well then what happened to it?

[technocat]

@sargennipple

He was behind a screen door just off camera. He whined at the excitement but the bang just scared him quiet. Trust me, he was not harmed at all...despite what it sounded like.

Airbags can do backflips?

[technocat]

@TheDuelingRabbit

I guess this one can. Only one I've seen so far.

the dog was like......dont do it dont do it dont do....ah fuck!

[Shawnbob21]

who was killing the dog

[WAHTTHEDIEW]

@TheDuelingRabbit Its because it isnt mounted into the dash of the car, so the energy from the deployment is free to move anywhere thus causing it to flip.
