So I have some r56 cloth seats, which I'm seemingly unable to even give away.

I changed a battery on one of the bikes last week, so that was floating about too...

What was I supposed to do huh?

Airbag Detonation

Fantastic slow mo.
I did this as an apprentice, a long time ago! but with a bare airbag facing the ground and then setting it off. It went very high!

I remember the lads doing similar at Mercedes, put one under a traffic cone, under a metal frame wood top table......

table took off across the valet bay in style at considerable height, and the road cone took off further, 20+ft in the air and over the steel fence into our car storage area fortunately missing all the cars when it landed

didn't do it again

or....😂

Stupid is as stupid does!

People don't realise how powerful airbags are, launching anyone off of one is really dangerous, they'd easily get crippled from the spine compression. Play safe kids! 💥

FYI youtube has a nice feature to adjust the playback speed, even at 0.25x on the slo-mo the inflation is crazy fast 😳

Seatbelt pretensioners are also rather violent and have the ability to maim the unwary or stupid.

Deafening when we did that at the workshop at Thatcham crash test training.

Ever see the video of the guy who gets sat on 3 tyres, with the airbag underneath? Genius… 😂 never gets old
