The auto makers put that same exact terrible "explosive device" right by the head and face of every driver...... I thought you were an engineer. The crash sensor triggers an electrical impluse igniting a pellet of sodium azide. The reaction generates nitrogen gas which fills a nylon or polyamide bag at a velocity of 150 to 250 miles per hour. The entire process occurs within 40 milliseconds at about 200 mph +/- 15. In order for the airbag to cushion the head and torso with air for maximum protection, the airbag must begin to deflate by the time the body hits it. The very high internal pressures produce a surface as hard as steel. The entire process occurs within 40 milliseconds from inflation to deflation. The deflation process is accomplished by completely opening the bottom of the bag as the inflation process is proceeding. The video in question shows the victim sitting on top of the bag which launches him a good three feet straight up. Straight up. *Hardly harmless.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I full well understand how an airbag works. Because of the cushion, I'm betting the acceleration wasn't that great. Also, given the body weight of the individual, that would also dampen the rate of acceleration. The airbag can expand up to that three feet that he was launched. Therefore, it is a lot different that if something only inflated 8 inches and slung him three feet into the air. Whatever.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - And to be precise, if you were to drop the person from that three feet onto the couch cushion, that would be the same force of impact that propelled him three feet. The thing I noticed however was that he seemed to be holding his lower back when he hit the floor.. I know an impact like that would screw my back up for a while, especially if I wasn't sitting up straight, like relaxing on a couch. I would be ****ed.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oh, I never said that if I was the person being thrust into the air, that I'd LIKE it, but it is NOT a terribly violent thing. May hurt a bit, but that's about it. I have a chronic back condition. I am guessing it would probably put me off my feet for a week or two, more than just a "bit of a hurt"...
