FAKE. When an air bag inflates it will deflate again within a half second. It's not gonna hold it inflated like that.

Funny video neverless tho.

Well that is true. But most of the time during tests a crash-test dummy has its face leaning in it. Did you see after the bag deployed, the man "squished" the airbag? It looked deflated already; but it was holding its shape due to the material of the bag.

Surely fake. Anyone that has seen an airbag go off in person (done about 4 or 5

) knows they do not inflate like that.

Airbag deployment is an explosion. It's DAMN LOUD, smokey, and can knock you out if you're close to the airbag. Facial injuries and burns are common with an airbag's explosive force.

Remember, during a crash the car has to sense the impact, send the signal to deploy the bag, and have it fully inflated before your face slams the wheel. This only gives the bag milliseconds to inflate so the inflation is VIOLENT. It's like a gunshot.

So yes while cute the video is very fake.
