got a bit bored saturday afternoon at work and thought i would let a few old airbags off
yes i know its illegal and all that
anyway i put a 40 foot lead on them and then connected each one to a car battery and can advise the following after they have gone off
they get very hot
they burn for a good minute after
its pretty loud
its smells like bonfire night
one blew the plastic cover off (nasty)
one went a good 30 feet in the air
in summary
i wouldnt want to be in an accident
it makes me even more aware why you really should wear your seat belt
over and out from yorkshire

Ony one question.
Why no video?

Mate of mine when he worked for Saab told me that the guys in the workshop put a *faulty* one changed under warranty in a locker and set it off for a laugh to see what would happen....
....outcome - one twisted locker with the door ripped from its hinges only fit for the skip.

Thanks OM, best laugh I've had today. This sort of thing should be on the telly.
What on earth did you get up to when you were at school?
Talking of schoolkids, I think DD slapped my wrist again!

Ah.. thunderflashes in phone boxes or under inverted dustbins...
Never fancied those explosive airbags, especially when I always had a cigarette going...
|
|
Awesome - I've always imagined an airbag to be like a big soft fluffy pillow.

Pipe smokers have more of a danger!

"got a bit bored saturday afternoon at work and thought i would let a few old airbags off".....
I'm fascinated about what you might do for a living, Bell-boy. Presumably this wasn't in a church tower after a wedding....and something tells me it wasn't in an accountants' or solicitors' office either.
Trouble at t'mill maybe.

It's the silly sort of thing Richard Hammond does/did in the Brainiac TV programme!

Business a bit slow then is it bell boy?

I've seen an airbag let off as a demostration when I did an airbags course.
But setting off a few at a time.................................................cracking job :thumbs up:
