Default How not to test an airbag

I've just posted this in the UK and thought I would share it with you guys, feel free to shunt it into a more appropriate thread.

A mate sent me this I've only just stopped laughing.

I'll take "things that probably gave me some internal injuries" for 800, Alex.

My friends and I would take those airbags, and bury them 3-feet underground and then set them off. It would look like a small explosion, it would throw dirt 20 feet up in the air.

good god man if it can shoot a 150lbs (estimate) guy in the air like that imaging what it would do to your face!!!

on a side note when i was in vo-tech i came up with the brilliant idea of using an airbag as an ejector seat, tried it with sand bags, the latches didn't work like i intended and i had to buy a new seat only to find out it bent the floor pan as well
ah to be in college again...
