One question: how would they make a fake video like that? Like, which part of it is fake? I'm curious.

Btw, it's grandma. At first, I thought you meant "grammar".
I would think a real airbag would hit with more force than that? How knows, could be a smart air bag, not sure how smart an airbag system is if it can be deployed by hitting the bumper with less force than it would if you hit a dog.

You wouldnt be able to see an airbag deploy like that, it is literally instantaneous. Plus you cant hit the front of a car and deploy an airbag.
what would happen if a 200 lb person sat on the bumper? that would be more force than that old lady could possibly hit anything with.

New flash...I just found out that the granny in the video was trained in the art of Ki-breaking. So it's real.

that's not a handbag..it's a bowling bag. Grannie just came from the bowlin alley and the ball hit the airbag censor with enough force to well..you saw it. Granni' got a 195 average in her league..she's the shit!

an air bag deploying has nothing to do with the force that hits it. an air bag deploys due to rapid deceleration.

this is fake. it would be easy to fake because all that it takes to deploy an air bag is a 12 volt signal. they could have taked an air bag from a junkyard out of a kia and just placed it on the steering wheel. hooked up a switch and then activated it at the right time. if this were real, then this guy would have grounds for a lawsuit
