Default Elderly pedestrian confronts Mercedes,triggersAirbag deployment ( Video-Clip )

Elderly pedestrian crossing confrontation
with a Mercedes driver and Airbag deployment.
Although I'm a proud Mercedes driver, I have to take the side of the
Old Lady and wished this tape would also show the aftermath of this
scenario.

That one has done the rounds before. It's fake, the airbag doesn't
deploy anywhere near fast enough to be real. A real airbag inflates at
a speed faster than the naked human eye can see.

Still funny as though

I think we're seeing more or less the whole thing, obviously an IKEA
billboard got deleted at the end or soemthing though.

Here's a link to a story on it:
