1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you Should Know from how Stuff Works 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: dot Com. Hey you, and welcome to the podcast. I'm 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: Josh Clark, and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant, and there's 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: Jerry and this is Airbags Airbags. Addition, I'm surprised we 5 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: haven't done this one yet. It seems so stuff you 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: should Know and it's just been sitting out there ready 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: to explode in your face. Yes, hopefully in the best 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: way possible. Uh. And I also had a bit of 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: a hard time because this article we should mention is 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: from Marshall Brain, who is the original inventor of the 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: house Stuff Works website ninety years ago in his k Yeah, 12 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: so he used to write everything and then boy it's 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: been through so many changes since then. But this article 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: that was uh, Like he keeps talking about like looking 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: forward to and what's in or for its, So it's 16 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: kind of hard to find out what was still legit 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: and what wasn't. But I got the nuts and bolts 18 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: of it. I think what's weird is it seems like 19 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: a lot of the regulation is exactly the same. Yeah, 20 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: which is I mean, I like I ran in the 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: same thing too, Like I I go look up stuff, 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: and I'd be like, well, wait, they're saying the same thing, 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 1: but this says two thousands sixteen or two thousand eighteen 24 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: or something. I don't think regulations have changed all that much. 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I got tripped up a little 26 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: bit with the UM factory installed off switch for passenger side, 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: and I finally figured all that out. I think, save it. 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: It's gold so exciting. Just wait, what's weird? Is this 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: is the stuff you should know? Topic? Um? I just 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: realized how boring stuff you should know can be. Chuck. 31 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Let's start with history, shall we. Yeah. So, apparently when 32 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: I think of air bags, I think of like the nineties, 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: that's airbag erra to me. Um, no, that there have 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: been airbags and cars in the United States going back 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: to the seventies as far as like mass produced, commercially 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: available air bags, especially driver's side, And then I think 37 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: even a little later in the seventies, um passenger side 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: airbags came around. I had no idea. You know, well, 39 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: you hate Chevy Chase, right. Have you ever seen Vacation 40 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: the first one? There's an airbag in there that Yeah, 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: he jumps over the gulch and crashes his car, and 42 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: as he's opening his door, the air quote unquote airbag 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: goes off, which is clearly like a trash bag, and 44 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: it's clearly coming from outside the car on the ground 45 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: because he opens the door and it comes up really quick. 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: Like they couldn't figure out a way even in a 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: three to make it look like it came out of 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: the steering right. The director was like, is that what 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: an airbag looks like? In the special effects guys like 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: do you know what an airbag looks like? Yeah? And 51 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: do you have any more blow? Um? I don't know 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: if that was Chevy Chase base or just making movie 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: in the eighties, making movies in the eighties. The cocaine reference. 54 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was everything in the eighties. Um. But 55 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: apparently when was it nineteen fifty three that an engineering 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: tech from Pennsylvania named John Hetrick put a patent on 57 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: a design for what he called a safety cushion assembly 58 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: for automohive automotive vehicles. He said, automohive. Maybe that's where 59 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: he went wrong because he took it to Ford and 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: GM and Chrysler, and of course they were all like me. 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: If you listen to our Pinto episode They're like, uh, 62 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: we got cars that are killing, burning people alive. You 63 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: think we care about your air bags? They there, he 64 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: just got crickets back. Yeah, you got nothing. And it 65 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: stayed that way until another guy from the Pinto episode, 66 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: Ralph nader Um, wrote in his book Unsafe at Any 67 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: Speed that air bags, along with seat belts and conjunction 68 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: of seat belts, would save lives big time. And he 69 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: was right, actually even still to this day. Um the 70 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: sweet spot for surviving a terrible crash is seat belt 71 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: in an air bag, both working perfectly to save your life. 72 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: But the idea behind um air bags was well, seat belts, 73 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: I think became uh um part of federal regulations in 74 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: the United States and five sixty seven as an installed 75 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: but like no one war him right, there was no 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: law that said you had to wear them for many, 77 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: many years, and so only about a quarter of Americans 78 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: wore them. So people were still dying in carrex even 79 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: though their cars had seat belts, because they weren't wearing 80 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: them because they were idiots. So people said, well, maybe 81 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: we'll put in these airbags. These are passive safety features. 82 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: A seat belt is technically an active safety feature because 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: unless you have one of those where like you'd open 84 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the door in the yeah, and then you close it 85 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: and go over. You forgot about those. Even still you 86 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: had to do the lap belt part yourself. So that's 87 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: technically act. You have to do something to put it on. 88 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: Air bag is different where you are just sitting there 89 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: and it does it whether you want it to or not. 90 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: It's a passive safety feature. So they said, well, maybe 91 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: if we put air bags in, it will save lives, 92 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: and so they started putting air bags in. Yeah, and 93 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: then I'm sure even back then there were people that 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: like government regulating, socialists trying to save me. Yeah, I 95 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: can't even turn off this air bag. It's a good 96 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: whale and Jennings, I wish I could do a good 97 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: whale and Jennings, I wouldn't be doing the show. Let's 98 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: be out on the road really with my act. Oh yeah, 99 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: that hurts. I'd bring you along, okay, you'd be little whale, 100 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: I'd say, whale and Jennings, Um, so I think, uh, 101 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: starting in what like, they started putting them out and 102 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: finally in the seventies and the eighties. But when they 103 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: sign is when they said finally all new cars gotta 104 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: have these air bags. Yeah, for for the frontal airbags 105 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: at least for the driver and the passenger side funnel 106 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: air Yeah, it was still a little bit before the 107 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: side impact bags were mandatory. And they said, okay, well, 108 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: everybody saved. The world is saved because we have airbags now, 109 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: so no one's ever going to die in a crash. 110 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: And then people started saying, wait a minute, um, I 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: I just read about this person who was an a 112 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: fender bender and their air bag went off and it 113 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: killed them. What about that? And so they started looking 114 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: into airbags a little bit and they said, oh, okay, 115 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: well maybe this is something what you call a work 116 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: in progress. And still to this day, air bred air 117 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: bag technology, this passive safety technology is a work in 118 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: progress because part of airbag technology is also educating the 119 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: public and how to use it correctly. Because an air 120 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: bag is not a soft little pillow that you you're like, well, 121 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: after this crash, I guess I let's take a nap here. 122 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's basically like a punch to 123 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: your face. YEA that inflates very quickly, um, and is 124 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: meant to keep you from eating the steering column, which 125 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: apparently you can do and a high enough speed crash 126 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: your seatbelt. Even when you're wearing it correctly and you're 127 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: sitting where you're supposed to be, you can still be 128 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: forced into the steering column. The point of the air bag, 129 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: especially for the driver, is that you, Um, it provides 130 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: a barrier between you and the steering calm. It's not 131 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: a comfortable barrier, but it's a barrier that will keep 132 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: your chest from caving in. Yeah. And obviously people are 133 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: more at risk if you're you know, let's say you're 134 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: a little short stuff and you gotta hike that seat 135 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: way forward in order to drive, you're that much closer 136 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: physically to the steering column. Um. And so the air 137 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: bag is meant to He's spent to help everyone, but 138 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: especially like people that are too too close for comfort. Yes, 139 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: but if you're sitting too clo to the steering column, 140 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: it can hurt you. Yeah, I think, what do they say, 141 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: get yourself ten inches back at least you? Oh wait, 142 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: we're getting weight ahead of ourselves here. Ten inches everyone, 143 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: it is ten inches. You're right. So, um, let's talk 144 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: about let's talk about the original UM idea for the 145 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: air bag. It was you take a thing of compressed 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: gas and you have an attached to like basically a 147 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: balloon or a bladder or something like that, or in vacation, 148 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: a hefty bag, and under the right circumstances like maybe 149 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: a crumple, that that compressed gases triggered and it blows 150 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: up the the balloon and you're saved. The problem is 151 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: is there's a lot of issues with this setup. Number one, 152 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't work fast enough. The compressed gas still does 153 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: not work fast enough. This is original technology, like the 154 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: stuff they were working with in the seventies. They didn't 155 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: They had an idea that they wanted an inflatable bag, 156 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: but they didn't know how to do it quite yet. 157 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: So the original idea was compressed gas. You know, like um, 158 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: like a night like you're like a whippet, a giant 159 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: whipp it, like your whippe, you know, like what I've 160 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: got in my on the desk, whip it you do 161 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: in between during ad breaks with your cracker. Imagine the 162 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: cracker and a giant whipp it in your steering column. Yeah, okay, 163 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: that was basically the idea first and so one that 164 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: that whipp it wouldn't inflate the bag. Fast enough. That's 165 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: a big problem because if it doesn't inflate fast enough, 166 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: not only does it not keep you from hitting the 167 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: steering column, it can actually make it worse. There's this 168 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: I think it's like ten Amazing Facts or something about 169 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: airbags on Gelopnik and they have a video on there 170 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: and side by side it is side by side of 171 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: crash tests with the crash test dummies. Um. Yes, yeah, 172 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: they were like, we were so tired of your music 173 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: in this car, so they they it's side by side 174 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: with crash has dummies and one is an airbag that 175 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: deploys and in the right time. The other one is 176 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: an airbag that deploys late. And the one that deploys late, 177 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: the the dummies head goes forward right and then right 178 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: when it's about to hit the steering wheel, the air 179 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: black airbag inflates and it crushes the guy's head backwards 180 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: at like a ninety degree angle to where it's supposed 181 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: to be. And um, you're just like, oh, that's what 182 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: happens if the airbag deploys late. So the timing is 183 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: really everything. So the idea that it would deploy late 184 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: or not fast enough was not only not good enough, 185 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: it was actually dangerous. Yeah, because the whole idea here 186 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: and sweet Marshall brain includes a whole bit on you know, 187 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: the physics of a car crash. But it's worth noting that, 188 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, when you're driving and you hit something that's 189 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: um with your car, like head on, let's say, Uh, 190 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: everything wants to come to a complete stop that's in 191 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: that car, including your body in your face. Uh, so 192 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: you've you've only got a certain a very very very 193 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: small amount of time to get that bag fully safely inflated. 194 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: As as your head is doing. It's final like alright, 195 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: this is where I want to stop, right exactly, It's 196 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: final resting point. So let's take a break and we'll 197 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: talk more about the physics of the car crash after all. Right, So, Chuck, 198 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: you're saying, like, in a car crash, the car stops 199 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: almost instantly from everything I've seen, Like it's it's so 200 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: close to instantaneous that the shorthand is it stops instantly, 201 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: but you're still moving forward. That's the point of your 202 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: seatbelt is to hold you in place. But the seatbelt 203 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: can cause all sorts of damage in and of itself, 204 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: but it's still better than just flying on buckled into 205 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: the steering column. Yeah, but like you can't um. It 206 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: takes time to stop everything, right, it's it is not instantaneous. No, 207 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: if it were instantaneous, you would crumple like the car. Right, 208 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: So you want they you want to be slowed down 209 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: and in a in a way that's so fast that 210 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: you don't hit the steering column but in but is 211 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: gentle enough that it doesn't just like cut you in 212 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: two bas Okay, it is extremely tricky. So what they 213 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: found out is that if you inflate an air bag, 214 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: you have to First of all, the air bag is 215 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: big enough that it basically has the distance between you 216 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: and the steering column that it's trying to protect you from. Yeah, 217 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 1: which is good, but that also means your face is 218 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: that much closer, which shortens that time. Even more shortens 219 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: the time that it can it can deploy in and again, 220 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: remember when you're talking about compressed gas, it just wasn't 221 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: fast enough. So they figured out that you need to 222 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: have an air bag basically get the input that a 223 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: crash is happening, and then deploy within about thirty thousands 224 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: of a second. So if you take one second, you 225 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: chop it into one thousand equal parts. You would tick 226 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: off thirty of them and still have nine hundred and 227 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: seventy left in that second before that airbag has done deploying. 228 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: That's how fast they have to deploy, which is astounding. 229 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: It's amazing that they can do that, but they can 230 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: do it. They finally figured it out, and the way 231 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: that they figured it out was instead of using compressed gas, 232 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: using basically the same thing that they used to power rockets, 233 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: basically solid rocket fuel. Yeah. I mean it's just that 234 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: you it that Um was that vice you said that 235 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: one articles a scientific American? Yeah, yeah, where they basically said, 236 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: for all practical purposes, is a small explosion goes off? 237 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: Oh that one was wired Oh yeah wired y Yeah, 238 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: like a small explosion goes off in your steering wheel 239 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: or I guess on the passenger side in the in 240 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: the dashboard to make this happen, And that in and 241 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: of itself is can be dangerous. It definitely can be. 242 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: And um, they've actually kind of got the chemistry down 243 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: so that, uh, it's as non dangerous as possible when 244 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: everything's working correctly. But they start with something called sodium 245 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: as i'd, which is basically um, sodium and nitrogen compound, 246 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: and when it's just sitting there in its powdered form, 247 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty stable. It's fine. But if you apply enough 248 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: heat to it, I think three d degrees celsius, which 249 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: is pretty hot, it it breaks down. It decomposes, and 250 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: when it decomposes it breaks into two different things. One 251 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: is night drogen gas and the other is um sodium, 252 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: just plain old sodium metals. And the nitrogen gas gets 253 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: way bigger than the little handful of sodium aside that 254 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: it grew from. The nitrogen is what is in that bag, 255 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: essentially like filling it up so quickly. The nitrogen gas 256 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: that that grows, Yeah, but isn't a side sodium aside toxic, 257 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: so they have to add other things in there. So 258 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: the sodium aside itself isn't toxic. But the sodium metals 259 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: that is a byproduct incid ignites, they're not actually toxic either. 260 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: But when they combine with water, like water vapor in 261 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: the air, it becomes sodium hydroxide a K A LIE. 262 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,479 Speaker 1: So you don't want LIE flowing through the passenger compartment 263 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: because you're gonna get chemical burns right after your air 264 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: bag goes off. So they add other stuff like potassium 265 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: nitrate I believe to um combine with the salt the 266 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: sodium um to render it inert and then actually produce 267 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: even more nitrogen. Right, So it's filling up a bag 268 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: made of nylon fabric that has folded into that steering well. 269 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: I think there's like talcum powder and stuff to keep 270 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: it supple. Yeah, And if you've ever I mean, I've 271 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: never had an airbag deploy, thankfully while I was in 272 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: a car. But uh, I know that powder is like 273 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: a big part of it, right from what I hear. 274 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,239 Speaker 1: That's what I hear. Uh. And then there's a sensor 275 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: like here's the thing. Everything has to go perfectly because 276 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: you don't want it to go off when it shouldn't um, 277 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: because that's no good. So I think it has to be. 278 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: Is it still accurate to say it's ten to fifteen 279 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: miles an hour hitting a fixed like wall? Essentially? That 280 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: was I think that's all right? Is it? They've decompressed 281 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: that since then they have it, It's it's much less 282 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: um rigid. Okay, So when you when your car hits 283 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: something and stop, suddenly, there's an accelerometer that's measuring the 284 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: deceleration and like five different factors. Okay, yeah, like you 285 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: just went from thirty to zero so fast. We know 286 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: that you've been in a wreck. And it's measuring not 287 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: just this direction, but also that direction to that direction 288 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: to make sure that what's going on is an actual 289 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: like front frontal crash. It sends this data, this raw 290 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: data to a micro controller, a little tiny computer in 291 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: your car. Actually that's part of the air bag um assembly, 292 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: and the microprocessor runs this data through an algorithm. The 293 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: algorithm decides whether it's a front and crash or not, 294 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: and if it is, then it deploys the air bag. 295 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: What it does is it sets off an electric circuit 296 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: which goes and ignites a little charge which blows up 297 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: that sodium hayzide, which then blows into nitrogen gas. Happens 298 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: in thirty thousands of a second. Yeah, Like, if you 299 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 1: ever I mean, we've certainly gone over enough amazing like 300 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: inventions of mankind through the show. But if you ever 301 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: doubt just how brilliant human kind is, Like look at 302 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: the air bag. Especially engineers, you know, unbelieve off to 303 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: to walk that line of doing this safely because they 304 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: could have given up and been like, cheez, I don't 305 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: think we can. There's no way we can get it 306 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: done that fast safely. Yeah, Like, let's think of another idea. 307 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: But they were like, no, let's stick with the air 308 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: bag naders on us. They said, go get the engineers. 309 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: So that's the new way of doing it. Apparently the 310 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: old way, according to Canada's transportation website, there would be 311 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: a little hollow tube with a ball bearing held in 312 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: place at the end by a magnet. Really, and when 313 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: the car was hit hard enough, the ball bearing would 314 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: be jarred loose from its position. Roll down the right, yeah, 315 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: roll down the tube, and then um complete an electrical 316 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: circuit that would send the ignition or ignite the ignition charge. 317 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: That sounds too much like a Rube Goldberg, which definitely does. 318 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: I think they're like, we can improve on Yeah, geez, 319 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: that's scary. Um all right, I guess we should talk 320 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: a little bit about the the ten inches and the 321 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: safety concerns. So apparently placing yourself ten inches from you're 322 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: steering the front of your steering will the the center 323 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: I guess, or that thing pops out is plenty of 324 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: room because they say the first the risk zone is 325 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: two to three inches. Uh, So they say get back 326 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: at least ten inches. And if you're like my mom 327 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: has a little short stuff, and like every time I 328 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: go to move her car, I'm just like, are you 329 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: kidding me? And I'm not even big, and I'm like, 330 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: you can't even get in the thing. Um. But they 331 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: say to scowed back as far as you can and 332 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: still drive normally. Uh. And then if you need to 333 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: even tilt that seat back a little bit just to 334 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: get yourself in that sweet spot. Yeah, if you if 335 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: you have to be, if your seat has to be 336 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: as close as possible, at least till your your chair back. Yeah. 337 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: And then if you can get it further back, but 338 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: now you're too low you need if you can raise 339 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: your seat automatically, do that too. Marshall Brain even said 340 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: get a pad to sit on if you have to. 341 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: And it's true. You also want to till your steering 342 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: whill so it's facing your chest rather than your head. Yeah, 343 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: which is I mean, surely you do that anyway. I 344 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: actually went and double checked mind. I was like, okay, 345 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I'm a tilt down all the way 346 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: just because it's more comfortable. Um, But some people I 347 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: think have it upward and it's just sitting there blasting. Yeah, 348 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: but it's like you're driving in front of a loaded gun, 349 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: with your face in front of a loaded gun. So 350 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: you want to do it correctly because you kind of 351 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: are uh. For kids, they're a whole host of concerns 352 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: for children, and air bags have killed children, uh in 353 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: the past, And I mean, go and look up all 354 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: the rules yourself. Don't base your life and your children's 355 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: safety on anything we say. But I think that uh, 356 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: I think the current laws or recommendations are, Um, if 357 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: you're under twelve, you you should be in the back 358 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: seat period. Yes, like you shouldn't be riding in the 359 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: front seat, which is way different than when we were kids. 360 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you'd be like bouncing around, like with your 361 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: hands on the dashboard as like a five year old. Yeah, 362 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: it's just crazy how it used to be. Yeah. Man, 363 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's an unbelievable that any of us survived 364 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: to this point. Yeah, that's true. But that's when I 365 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: got a little bit confused about the passenger side on 366 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: off switch because starting at a certain point, they said, 367 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: all right, if you want to get an aftermarket switch 368 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: built in to turn off your air bag or the 369 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,239 Speaker 1: passenger side, you have to fill out this application and 370 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: have a specific um qualifying I guess would you call 371 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: it a hardship, hardship or just reason? Yeah, a reason, 372 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: that's a good way to put it from. And they 373 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: range from like medical condition, sure, just to being too 374 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: small I think too write, or to having a car 375 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: where the back seat was too small to put a 376 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: rear facing um a kid seat. Yes. Yeah, if your 377 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: car was too small and you had to put your 378 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: kids kids seat in the front passenger um in the 379 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: front passenger seat, it was actually preferable to not have 380 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: the air bag there. Yeah. This is where I why 381 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: I got confused is because my pickup truck has that 382 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: on off switch factory installed. And I was just like, no, 383 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: it's just factory installed in my truck. Talking, well, what 384 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: it is is I think all pickup trucks had them. 385 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: Even though I could fit a kid's seat because I 386 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: have the little the back seat thing, I could fit 387 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: a kid's seat rear facing in my truck in the 388 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: back seat truck. But yeah, I'm a big, big dully right. 389 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: Emily saw one of those on the road. The thing 390 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: she's like, does anyone need those extra tires in the 391 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: back those four fifties for four fifties, I don't know, 392 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: but I was, you know, the duellis with the four 393 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: wheels in the back, and it's like it's not for show? 394 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: Is that? I think that's actual has a reason. I 395 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: think for like heavy towing or heavy hauling. Oh I 396 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: think it's for show, is it? I think there's a 397 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: real reason. So you know how like no has ever 398 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: been off road? I think it's a similar principle, all right, 399 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: and and and hold your emails. I realized that like 400 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: the hum Vy has been off road. Do you know 401 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: the Hummer I'm talking about the H three's that's the yellow, 402 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: the bright yellow, and exactly that's never been off road 403 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: unless you count like parking up on the curb off 404 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: road because you can't fit it into a space out 405 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: of my way nature. Um so in I think manufacturers 406 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: could actually were allowed to do this. It says ninety 407 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: eight in here, but it was when like a pickup 408 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: truck could have the manufacturer put an on off switching. 409 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, so we might be confusing you 410 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: at this point, like why would you want to turn 411 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: your air bag off if it's safe. Again, it depends 412 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: on the situation whether your air bag is actually safe. 413 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: If you have a child in a rear facing um 414 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: child seat that's in the front seat, it's better than 415 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: not have your air bag on. Yes, And as a reminder, 416 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: Operation Valkyrie was a larger plan. Sorry, you're never gonna 417 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: let me live that down, are you? From forty five 418 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: minutes ago? Um? Right, it is sometimes more dangerous, so 419 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: that on off switch. And the reason why, I mean 420 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: like there were people who were like, no, airbags kill 421 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: more people than they save. That's not true, but they 422 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: they There was this one study that came out of 423 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: the University of Georgia in two thousand five. The statistician 424 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: I can't remember her name, but she she ran the 425 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: numbers using the full data set. So like the numbers 426 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,479 Speaker 1: that showed that air bags save lives save lives if 427 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: you use only crashes where there is a fatality involved, 428 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: so a specific kind of crash, typically a high speed crash, 429 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: and air bag is probably gonna say of your life. 430 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: What this statistician did um was to take all crashes UM. 431 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: I think it was called like crash Worthy Worthiness Data UM. 432 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: And it was all crashes, which includes low speed crashes too, 433 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: which includes low speed crashes where an air bag went 434 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: off and the person would have otherwise survived but they 435 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: didn't because the airbag killed them. And she found that 436 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: there was a slight increase in the risk of death 437 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: from airbags overall. So there's a lot of like competing information, 438 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: but it seems like the general consensus is that under 439 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: the right conditions, having an air bag in conjunction with 440 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: the seat belt, that's important. Well, yeah, it's very important. 441 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: Where you're sitting back far enough at least ten inches 442 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: away and up high enough, Um, that that is going 443 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: to increase your risk or increase your chances of surviving 444 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: and otherwise fatal crash. But I think like basically is 445 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: the rule of thumb. Like it increases your chances of 446 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: surviving by a third. Not bad. So let's take another break, Chuck, 447 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and we'll talk more airbanks. 448 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: So we were talking about kids. Um, if you do 449 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: have a kid that's twelve and up or whatever, the 450 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: recommendation is, Uh, it's still important obviously always wear that 451 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: seat belt, but also have them sitting properly. Um. They 452 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: talk a lot about the fact that kids are smaller, 453 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: so a lot of times they try to sit up 454 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: in their seat more. Um, A lot of times in 455 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: a crash, the kid will go up towards the ceiling 456 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: the roof of the car because of how small they are. 457 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: And so it's really important to have your kid in 458 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: that seat belt with their butt all the way against 459 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: the back of that seat and like staying there and 460 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: shutting up while they're at it, and again back far enough, um, 461 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: at least ten inches away from the Yeah, you put 462 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: that seat back all the way. Uh, and it might 463 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: be like I can't see as much, but again, just 464 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: tell them to shut up. You're looking after their safety. Actually, 465 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: what I what I meant to say was if an 466 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: air bag goes off a child is so light that 467 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: it could lift them up in their seat. Yeah, if 468 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: they're too close and not positioning correctly. That's right. Okay, Um, 469 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: I ran across something. Surprisingly. Did you know that it's 470 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: not um mandated for cars to have airbags in Canada? 471 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: In Canada, it is in the US, but not Canada. 472 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: Didn't that surprise you? That is surprising. So that's not 473 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: a law for new cars. Huh, it's like an option. 474 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: I guess they don't. It's not mandated that new cars 475 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: have bags. Say I want a cigarette lighter in an ashtray, 476 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: No air bag? Right. Um. So you if you paid 477 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: attention to the news at all, you may have heard 478 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: about airbag recalls, especially ones that were made by the 479 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: Japanese from Takata. Man, that's a big problem. I think 480 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: something like thirty seven million recalls cars have been recalled. Yeah, 481 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: it said the nhs I did this in the Pendel. 482 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: The nht s A said it's the largest and most 483 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: complex safety recall in US history because Takata made airbags 484 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: for everybody. Yeah, and they made air bags that could 485 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: possibly send metal shards flying into your face. Yeah. I 486 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: was reading about a girl who was man. She was 487 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: like a cheerleader from Oklahoma who had just graduated, was 488 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: like had her whole life ahead of her. Um, she 489 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: was just just as tad as it gets. She went 490 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: to go pick up her little brother. Um. Her name 491 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: was Ashley Parham. She wanted to go pick up her 492 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: little brother from football practice, and I guess like got 493 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: into a tiny fender bender and her air bag went off. 494 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: Well that shouldn't have killed her in and of itself. 495 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: But it turns out that Takata air bags start to 496 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: degrade over time, that UM sodium as i'd actually becomes explosive. 497 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: So when it goes off after its age a certain 498 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: amount of time, it becomes super explosive and it can 499 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: actually blow the canister that holds the air bag part 500 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: and it shoots shrapnel out, and apparently it got her 501 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: in the neck and it was so such a traumatic 502 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 1: injury that at first they thought she'd been shot and 503 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: she died. You know, they're in her car from the 504 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: air bag. This is the There's millions of cars out 505 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: there on the road right now with the same potential 506 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, I saw fifteen deaths UM and then 507 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: I saw none of those. At twenty I saw like 508 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: twenty three I think. Yea. So where in that range 509 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: as the amount of people that have been killed just 510 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: from the Takata airbags, not airbags in general. Yeah, yeah, 511 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: the the recalled air bags and hundreds and hundreds of 512 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: people injured. H And like you said, they go across UM. 513 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know every manufacturer, but most Yeah, and not 514 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: just American automobiles or Japanese even, but that like there 515 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: was an Australian one that I saw is being recalled 516 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: like everyone around the world used Takata air bags and 517 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: they are faulty. Yeah, and like you should have gotten 518 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: to notice by now, but take it seriously, um, And 519 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: I know that it's been slow with the fixing of 520 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: it and the rollout of you know, the ones that work. 521 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: It's not like an instantaneous thing to fix thirty seven 522 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: million cars, you know. But even if your air bag 523 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: is working correctly, there's still Remember I said that air 524 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: bags are kind of a work in progress. Uh, And 525 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: part of his educating the public, another part of it 526 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: is just making air bags better at what they do. 527 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: One of the major flaws of air bags is that 528 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: they are the closer you get to a head on 529 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: collision to at twelve o'clock collision, Um, the the better 530 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: they protect you. But the caveat to that is depending 531 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: on how fast you're going. So if you're going really slow, 532 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: they can actually be really problematic because you may not 533 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: even have your seatbelt on, in which case you don't 534 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: want to hit an air bag without a seatbelt lot, 535 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: especially at low speeds. Um, it can mess you up 536 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, because what you're doing there, Uh. In 537 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: case that doesn't make much sense. You are very quickly 538 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: going well within that ten inch zone because of no 539 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: seat belt keeping you back. And then remember it kind 540 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: of like an air bag deploying too late, it can 541 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: shoot your head backwards and just mess you up pretty good. Um, 542 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: after that, when you have a seatbelt on, or if 543 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: you have a seatbelt on, even if it's ten to 544 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: fifty up to a certain point, say I think like 545 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: sixty kilometers per hour, I'm not sure what that is. 546 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: A miles p um. You are pretty good. You're pretty 547 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: good with your with your air bag. And then after 548 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: that the crash becomes so forceful that it can actually 549 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: mess with the air bag deployment system and the airbag 550 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: might not even go off. So there's actually just a 551 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: window that airbags work well in. And one of the 552 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: big challenges in the industry now is figuring out how 553 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: to make them work of the time in really high 554 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: speed crashes too. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool in 555 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: a testament to where we are with safety in the 556 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: world now, and especially in the United States, that they're 557 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: not just like, yep, got got the air bags figured out, 558 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: Let's move on along, right, and they're constantly working on it. Supposedly, 559 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: the National Transportation Safety Board really resisted putting on off 560 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: switch on cars for a long time because they were 561 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: afraid that it was going to be Um, it was 562 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: just gonna be an easy fix for problematic air bags 563 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: where people just turn off the airbags, rather than forcing 564 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: the automotive industry to put more money in time and 565 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 1: thought into making better air bags. Yeah, which is uh, 566 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a risky, gambly way of getting 567 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: things done, but it's the way. Yeah, and they, um, 568 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: they work best. Uh, like you said it head on 569 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: because the bumper if you listen to our was it 570 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: crumple zones? Yeah, I think so. Is that a whole podcast? Um, 571 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: you know that front bumper and the engine and the 572 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: whole front of your car takes so much of that 573 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: impact that by the time it gets to you, it's 574 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: it's really really helping the air bag out. Um. Side 575 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: impact is I think there are more side impact accidents 576 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: and more deadly ones because you get t boned and 577 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: it's there is no engine, there is no bumper, just 578 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: that thin door. It happens much faster, yeah, super fast. 579 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: So there are side curtain air bags now on I 580 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: think virtually I think all new cars, right, Um, and 581 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: different depending on the manufacturer. When they were first trying 582 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: to figure out how to implement these, they had some 583 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: different strategies. And a BMW I think actually put it 584 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: in the door. Volvo I think put it in the 585 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: back seat, in the side of the back of the 586 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: front seat. Yeah, yeah, the driver's seat. Uh. And they've 587 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 1: certainly helped a lot. And now I mean some cars 588 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: these days there are air bags all up in them. Right. 589 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: There's something called the front center airbag that comes up 590 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: in between the front passengers so they don't like three 591 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: stooge knock their heads together in the middle of this. Um, 592 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: there's knee passenger knee airbags that blow up around the dashboard. Um. 593 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: There's inflatable seat belts they're working on, which is smart. Um, 594 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of air bags that they're they're basically 595 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: just trying to turn it into one giant marshmallow, which 596 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: is smart. But as long as the giant marshmallows don't 597 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: also like knock your head off of your your body accidentally. Right, 598 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of the big challenge. Right now, I have 599 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: safe everyone where that see belt. Yeah. Oh, and one 600 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: more thing. Um, you want to you know, how you 601 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: always hear ten and two is how you're supposed to drive, 602 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: not anymore. I think I've said it before. You want 603 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: to drive at nine and three because at ten and two, 604 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: if the airbag goes off, that hot gas can d 605 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: glove your hands. You love t gloving. It's your favorite 606 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: horrific accident. I'm a solid, solid nooner with my left wrist, 607 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: you're a dead man, or a solid six o'clock with 608 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 1: with my thumb and my forefinger. You can't do that. 609 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: You have to do better than that. I know it 610 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: sucks to have like nine and nine and three, but 611 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: I'm telling you you have much more control. Come on, 612 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. I've never been in a bit 613 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: bad wreck. It's good, yeah, knocking all all kinds of wood. 614 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: So Um, if you want to know more about airbags, 615 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: go read up on it. Don't try to deploy them yourselves. 616 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: It's a terrible idea. And since I said that, it's 617 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: time for listening mail. Um. Actually I was in a 618 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: pretty decent wreck when my brother was driving. I think 619 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: I detailed that in previous shows. So if you're out there, jeep, Yeah, 620 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 1: if you're out there typing. But what about the jeep incident, which, 621 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: weirdly my rental house right now that I'm in, Well, 622 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: i'm working on my househouse is a jeep, Yeah it is. 623 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 1: It's an old brown jeep. It's like several hundred yards 624 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: from where that wreck took place. Yeah, and it was 625 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: raining really bad the other day when I was going 626 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: home and at that very same spot, it's just a wash. 627 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: It's like a river running over the road. I'm like, 628 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: that's that's where it happened. Wow, that's where you hydroplane? 629 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: Still dangerous over there? Do you like shake or anything 630 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: as you go past it? No? No, I'm good. Okay, 631 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: I said, just send a picture to my brother and 632 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: make fun of him. I'm gonna call this I don't 633 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: like Dr SEUs. That's you speaking or the author. It's 634 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: the author. Because remember in the show we said who 635 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: doesn't like Dr SEUs? Sofia Cook does not. She gives 636 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: good reasons. I always hated those books as a kid. 637 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: The pictures disturbed me, like what were those things? My 638 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: mother hated him, which is why I never saw the 639 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: books until I was at a friend's house. She refused 640 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: to buy them. When I asked her later. She said 641 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: the poetry was juvenile, uh, and unimaginative. She was an 642 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: English major. Well that too. For example, Dr SEUs would 643 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: just add the same word multiple times just to meet 644 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: the cadence. This is what fifth graders do when they 645 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: can't keep up with more word, When they can't come 646 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: up with more words, she said. I know, because I 647 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: take poetry to fifth graders. She said, for example, from 648 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 1: red fish bluefish. Uh, some come a long long way. 649 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: Some are very very bad. All he does is yell, yell, yell. 650 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: He likes to drink and drink and drink. It's pretty 651 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: juvenile when you think about it. Oh, is that an 652 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: actual one? Red fish bluefish?
