Supra air bags. Not a Lexus, but scary just the same
So I know we (most of us) don't drive Supras here in the literal sense, but with all the similarities, I figured this one was worth mentioning.

That crap is no joke. Good way to snap someones neck really.
It seems like an isolated case, but has anyone ever seen anything like this?
It must have been some sort of vibration on the dyno or a freak sensor failure, but can you imagine cruising to work, or through the drive-thru and having your airbags deploy?

It looked to me like it went off in perfect time with when he let off the boost, which could mean the dyno guy didn't strap the car properly and there was too much play in the ties causing a snap/jolt (just like an impact) upon deceleration.
On second look, the car doesn't seem to jolt though, so maybe he just let off because of the bag and not the other way around. But what's up with that tie down strap running through the back seat of the car??
