Hi,

Totally staged! Air Bags deploy at an avg. of 0.05 seconds. Also, Modern Cars (post-'99) use a very refined algorythm in their MEMS devices (triggering microchips) to reduce deployments at low speeds. That old Lady would have to Bench Press 350 lbs. to make an impact significant enough to trigger the bags.

Still, funny though...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
