The video you're about to see.
Needs an introduction.
Because this is a video.
That I shot about a year ago.
And the reason that I set this video up.
The way that I did.
Is because I overheard a discussion between a couple of parents.
At my babies music class.
Peekaboo eyes.
About whether or not.
The driver side airbag.
Affects the passenger in any way.
When it deploys.
I wanted to set it up.
Try it out for myself.
And see what kind of results I get.
Welcome back.
In the previous episode.
We showed you a clip of.
And airbag being deployed in Ultra slow motion.
Today I'm going to step it up a couple notches.
And we're going to deploy yet another driver side airbag.
From a Mercedes-Benz.
This time we are going to replicate a real world scenario.
Where there's an occupant in the vehicle.
The only thing is the occupant.
Is not going to be a person or a crash test dummy.
It's going to be Teddy right here.
And I think this is going to kind of give you an idea.
How much force is involved.
When the airbag hits the occupant.
But that's what I'm going to do today.
So I got to get set up.
That's the Teddy bear and the airbag with the steering wheel.
And then baby carry is right here.
Ready to go teddy?.
Alright he's ready.
One of the reasons I picked a teddy bear.
Is so we can use his plush.
As a visual indicator.
Of how much of a shock wave.
The airbag creates.
If any.
And that white cloud that you saw.
Right when the airbag deployed.
Isn't powder or anything like that.
It's actually smoke from the Heat.
So if you look at the airbag here.
You can clearly see that.
If we shake it out.
There is no powder at all.
And that's why a lot of people that get into collisions.
And have the airbag deploy.
Get burns on their wrists.
And that's why.
Because there's a lot of heat coming out of this airbag.
I know that was a short video.
But hopefully that answers the question that was in discussion.
As you can see from that footage.
The airbag never actually touched the passenger.
And I'm sure there's many different situations.
But hopefully you enjoy that video.
Don't forget to check out our main Channel.
Which is Warped perception.
also check us out on Discovery Channel.
And that's enough ands.
That's about it.
I'm out of here.
Thanks for watching.
Adios.
