Word to the wise - your airbag-equipped dashboard is not a drumset, dumbass

I'm contemplating whether the video is real or not.

Funny as heck tho.

Its fake, i've beat on live air bags with hammers, dropped them on the ground etc. It can only go off by a crash signal from one of the impact sensors, or by manually energizing the circuit with a 9V battery or something similar.

However i have seen one go off when someone slid it across the shop floor and static electricity must have built and fired the charge, stupid air bag flew across the shop 40 feet into a touareg.

Not to mention, that bag stayed inflated. Every airbag I've ever set off crashing a car rapidly turned to a smoky/dusty pile while I wondered WTF just happened.

Obviously fake, or the guy's arms can exert a force as strong as in a car crash. Lol.
