Maybe his blow-off valve is just circulated into the airbags.

Those were legit straps. I've seen those supra people strap them down like that before.... ugh...

But that makes no sense, those airbags are suppose to have a accelerometers on them, and if the car isn't moving...

Air bags deploy based on a instant g-load, not vehicle speed. They will still deploy if your car is stopped and gets hit in the front.

Having driven a couple of my cars on dynos, if the car is not strapped down properly there can be some pretty large shock loads. I saw a big horsepower FWD Pontiac GTP pull its rear lower control arms out of their bushings on a dyno run.

EDIT: Chassis dynos car be very dangerous. I showed up at Superior's dyno in Anahiem as the paramedics were hauling away the dyno operator. The big horsepower Camaro he was running blew a driveshaft and it flew sideways and snapped the operator's ankle, which was hanging out the driver's door during the run. The driveshaft also knocked over a big Snap-On toolbox.

Or close the wall up with our HybridZ dead!
In deciding for those who cannot decide,
Or educating those who will not listen,
There's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of indecision and ignorance blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood...
...Follow your spirit, and upon this charge, Cry "God for HybridZ, Datsun, and Horsepower!"
