Airbag Deployment - CLK vs. an elderly lady
This is kind of off topic but have you seen this video of a CLK vs. an elderly lady?

Obviously the guy in the MB is being a jerk for not yielding to a pedestrian at a crosswalk but does anyone know how/why the air bag deploys in this incident? I thought a certain amount of body intrusion is required for the air bag to be triggered and that does not seem to be the case here.

I would hate to think that it would pop out so easily or that the driver would be so calm about it. Looks like a setup for America's Favorite Home Videos to me.

If you've seen the entire commercial, not the abridged version found on many websites such as You Tube, you'll notice that it's a "What-if" Ikea commercial. Now, the most ironic part is, why would Ikea make a commercial that doesn't feature their products? At least not prominently.
It's a commercial made by Ikea. At Mercedes' expense.
