Ooh I want some attention and falls over. Look. 0:33

@scruffyfromki3 and to anyone who thinks this video is funny. The firefighter in this video was not injured, he DIED! This video in NOT FUNNY, it should be used as a training tool to help reduce injuries and or deaths of firefighters from airbags.

AHHAAHAHAHA

Seeing this makes me glad that we worked on that kit to save Fire Fighters from these situations.

LOL thus why when you get to a car accident you take the battery out.

not all airbags deploy in a crash, airbags are directional. Say for instance a side impact crash, only the side impacts would normally deploy. I cant tell from this video if the car was involved in a frontal crash or what.

I was one of the paramedics on the scene. They did indeed attempt to pop the hood to access the battery, but it was causing a lot of pain for one of our patients and they opted to work around it. This was in August, 1995 and there were some serious lessons learned that impacted and improved care. Google searches can find some pics of the control box that tripped the airbag. The bag didn't deploy at the accident as it was a strong side impact, not frontal.

I heard from a paramedic supervisor for the SFFD (also my EMT instructor) that they cut the power to the batteries before they do the extrication... shouldn't the be universal?
