Respecting Air Bags | Chop Shop RX | Vehicle Extrication Firefighter Training

At the Colorado State Fire Fighters Association's 2025 Fire College, Chop Shop RX Instructor Randy Wells and Erik Herbst open discussion to knowing your enemy and respecting it. The ability to know how to work around airbags can be lifesaving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video Transcription:  Beginning of every class we try to detonate a passenger airbag 'cause it's really important that you get a healthy respect for airbags first off. And secondly, you gain some compassion for what goes through for your occupant and what they're going through. They just had that go off in their face. A loud bang, they got sucker punched plus the accident. Give them a minute. They haven't done that. Self-diagnostic check. It's gonna take a little bit for the pain, the adrenaline, everything to come down. So have some compassion. Keep revisiting the, are you okay to ensure that that patient's gonna be fine? Two types of airbags, single phase and dual phase. So single phase utilizes one inflator. That's a no brainer man. Car hits me, airbag deploys. Done. Then there's the dual phase, but there's two types. Car hits me, boom, airbag goes off, I fly into the intersection, another car hits me. Boom, second airbag goes off. The other type of dual phase is small impact, small charge, both charges. So when you're operating in there, just because you have an airbag deployed in the front area of the vehicle. Doesn't mean that it can't go off. Again, airbags scan. As I walk up, I'm trying to get a good look on the B post. I see a passenger airbag deployed, but not a steering wheel. Okay, gotta watch my ass around the steering wheel. I see no curtain airbags, no torsos. Okay. If I'm cutting in this area, I have to expose plain and simple. Right now I know that most cars have a curtain airbag and this one does. Now I'm gonna start at the back. Into the car. Alright. And the reason we start at the back is because a lot of the curtain airbag cylinders are located in the sea post. So I'm gonna take this, my pride tool, I'm gonna open it up and bingo, I got a cylinder right there. So what we see a lot in our little two-tiered cys. Is superhero paramedics. Hey, uh, you okay in there? So what you don't see is this 18 inches of guillotine. Be careful. So, so don't, don't do that. Cool. So he's gonna rig that up and then just do the 1, 2, 3, and just hide behind you. 1, 2, 3. I'm here.
