Sure, airbags save lives, but do airbags make babies cry?

Two photos from the same event. Ralph Nader coaxing little Betsy into the airbag demonstrator, placing his finger over the airbag detonator.

"Watch out for that tree, Betsy! Watch out! Don't you see it? Betsy, what are you doing?!? BETSY..."

<INFLATE>Poof.</INFLATE>

A good 30 seconds passes before Betsy begins bawling her eyes out.

Well, that's the way it might have happened.
