What Happens if you Sit on an Airbag? - The Slow Mo Guys - Summary

Summary

The Slow Mo Guys, Gab, conduct an experiment using a mannequin, "Mo," to test the effects of an airbag deployment. Initially, the results are underwhelming, with Mo barely moving. However, after adjusting the setup to contain the airbag and using a larger passenger-side airbag, the experiment yields a more dramatic outcome. Mo is launched into the air, hits the ceiling, and explodes into pieces, causing damage to the surrounding equipment and leaving a smudge on the wall. The hosts reflect on the experiment's success and the importance of safety, concluding that Mo is beyond repair and will be retired.
