Our friend Farmer Dave does some crazy stuff with airbags. You may recall that Dave likes to blow up <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/25/video-guy-blows-up-saturn-ford-airbags-in-a-refrigerator/">airbags in refrigerators</a>, and the devastation is pretty impressive. Either Dave got bored with blowing up safety devices in kitchen appliances or he was interested in a fresh challenge, because the good farmer's latest video takes place on a very frozen pond with a passenger side Saturn airbag.<br />
<br />
After the jump is 3:23 of pure safety dummy pyrotechnic bliss. Farmer Dave puts an airbag in a plastic bag, wires it up to a car battery and places it in the water where he cut out a chunk of the ice with a chainsaw. Since we're showing you this video, you can probably guess that the airbag went off, but the damage to three inches of ice is pretty impressive. As a bonus, Dave stuck a second air bag in the water for a week in order to let the ice freeze over it. The carnage is far less impressive but still worth a look. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/04/video-answering-the-eternal-question-will-an-airbag-go-off-in/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to watch both videos and please try to remember that blowing up airbags is dangerous business better left to the Farmer Daves of the world.<br />
