I saw that a week or three ago, can't remember who linked, but maybe it was in the comments to that ogged post about the old lady waving her cane at him because he didn't stop to let her cross? (too lazy to look it up)

Anyway, I love it.

I think the whole thing was staged:

(1) Does anyone, even an old person, really fall asleep while crossing a street?

(2) Airbags don't pop out from a light tap like that.

(3) The guy in the car looks like an actor playing a yuppie, not a real yuppie. (It's just my Malcolm Gladwell "blink" reaction.)

(4) Anyone short-fused enough to rev his engine at a granny crossing the street would have started yelling and cursing at her if she hit his precious car and/or caused the airbag to deploy in his face.

You know, when I first saw it I really wondered if it was staged, mainly because the guy doesn't jump out of his car yelling etc., and it's weird that the film ends where it does. You'd think they'd keep filming the guy to see his reaction if it were real. Also the airbag deploying so easily.

But anyway, I still love it.

I thought it was fake, but Gaijin Biker brings the goods.
