the law has to include everyone equally. Even people who are dicks deserve protection under the law. The reason we are currently in the mess we are in is because the rich somehow got above the law. When people are above the law, society breaks down.

the film maker was too quick to turn, too quick to zoom in on the airbag- knew what was going to happen Plus that would be a heck of a hit to set off the airbag, let alone the car was sitting still.

And then there's the part about it being an Ikea commercial-

A real airbag system would never deploy due to a minor hit like that unless it was severely malfunctioning. Real airbags are bigger and MUCH louder. Imagine an M-80 exploding near you with no warning. The guy would be dazed and terrified. His seatbelt pretensioner would have locked during a real deployment and remain locked afterward-he could not pull it out like that.
