They would have been deaf for a good 30 seconds too and ears ringing for ages, airbags are so bloody loud.

they should use this in every car as an anti hooning device - and only let it electronically be cancelled out when the cars gps system detects that the owner has taken their car to a racetrack, and not a public road.

You have to remember that airbags in yank cars have always been set to go off at a lower speed and lower impact that Australian designed ones.
Many years ago here in the outback test areas, some of the initial test cars with airbags using Yank settings would go off over a good old typical Aussie pothole hit at highway speeds. The reason is obvious...in an American car in america, they have to allow for the tool exercising his freedom to suffer head injuries by not wearing a seatbelt like a normal human being in another country would...so they have to go off at lower speeds to allow for unrestrained passengers. |

I do know that certain vehicles have g-sensors and position sensors in them...some Mercedes convertibles have roll bars which "pop up" into place in a minute time period if it thinks the car is about to roll over, and Harley Davidson bikes have an engine cut-out where if the bike gets more than some degree of angle...I think it's 75 degrees tilted over...the engine cuts out automatically.
Maybe the Camaro has something similar? |
