Blowing Up Car Airbags Anyone?

A while back in class we spoke about the intricate folding that goes into the packing of an automotive airbag. Much like origami and the packing of a parachute for both skydiving and drag racing a large amount of fabric is packed into the smallest of compartments. Now how does one go analyzing the inside of an un-blown airbag? Easy answer silly, Blow that thing up!

While I was cleaning my studio, (not done, this place is a mess!) I came across the airbag out of a 1995 S-10 parts truck that I had. Ill bring it into class tomorrow hopeful of future class shenanigans, I mean research.

And since Halloween's aroung the corner now here's a link to fellow Canadian Dave's Farm on Youtube
