Elderly pedestrian crossing confrontation with a Mercedes driver and
Airbag deployment.
Although I'm a proud Mercedes driver, I'm have to take the side of the
Old Lady and wished this tape would also show the aftermath of this
scenario.

Viral ad for IKEA.  You side with the old lady instead of the rich guy,
and so does IKEA.  That's how they make money from the not-so-rich, by
making fun of rich people.  It's a fake airbag, since it would need
much greater shock to inflate, and would deflate immediately.  So
knowing the old lady is an actor (likely not so old) trying to sell you
something, do you still side with her?

This video seems fishy.  I thought that speed (namely sudden deceleration)
was taken into account by the airbag deployment sensor and that the impact
had to be greater than 10MPH.

It's a joke!  Just remember the same older lady getting even with the
guys who supposedly stole her purse while riding a motorcycle.  These
are funny video clips, not "reality" videos! If I find the other "old
lady" clip, I'll be glad to post it here.  If someone else bits me to
doing it, great!

The video clip that I was referring to in my previous post is named
"Grandma.wmv". I don't have the original URL anymore. I tried to
"attach" it to a 'test' post addressed to myself, but could not open it
with my windows player. Then I tried something else:

I Googled the name and found this URL that directed me to the original
video source:

Oooops! The Grandma is the same but the clip is not exactly what I had
in mind!  I'll keep trying to find the "Make my day" grandma who gets
even with the purse snatchers.
