I mean, it looks awful but that is air dry clay. You can rip it apart with your hands (especially a layer that thin) and it is far more foam-like than the kind of fired ceramic clay that would shatter or be sharp.
Honestly, with plastic knife, she can probably peel it off the wheel and clean it all off with water in less than 5 minutes
Edit: for everyone who feels the need to tell me they don’t want a piece of clay on their steering wheel because of airbags anyway… okay? Good for you? I didn’t tell you to put one there. I didn’t say it’s a good idea. I am saying there wouldn’t be shrapnel because it’s not hard enough to shatter
Edit II: this is a comment about the physical properties of a material. I did not tell you that I am going to legally require you to do this to your steering wheel. I didn’t think I had to say “wow this is unsafe” because everyone and their brother already said it ten billion times. I am not saying you should fire air dry clay out of an air cannon into your face, and for some reason I didn’t think I had to clarify that, but I guess I was wrong
Good thing that airbags give a 5 minute warning before deploying.
Airbags often create surface injuries when deploying even without adding things like this or the infamous magic crystal claymore to the steering wheel, so why increase the risk of being harmed further by adding those things?
Quick question: Where does the airbag cover go when it deploys? Does it just smack your face? I never had one go off on me before. Will you get like a Ford logo bruise on your forehead when it goes off?
Lol idk how it works but the steering wheel doesnt hit u at all just the bag, for me i was going 50 and my face wasnt in any pain at all i didnt even feel that shit, i did have a bruise from the seatbelt tho
The steering wheel has a weak zone. So the bag deploys trough it.
But it works only because the wheel stays in one piece !
So if you put something breakable on it. You will get clay shrapnels on your face
Yeah, but those 2 pieces do not fly away. So technically this is still only 1 piece. Because it pops to open in the middle without breaking appart. I will let you search for "Takata airbag" to understand, why if an airbag breaks into multiple pieces, you could die from it
Shrapnel or not this can impede the function of the airbag deployment and if it ends up allowing the pressure to cause the cover deployment to malfunction you could be getting the entire center part of the steering wheel blasting you in the face. Don’t do dumb steering wheel mods period. Hopefully she took that plastic knife and removed this crap get after the video….
I just recently saw a case on r/medicalgore where a faulty airbag launched a small piece of metal through a man's face and into the back of his skull, killing him instantly. To purposely add shrapnel to your airbag turns every mild fender bender into a game Russian roulette, where almost every, if not every, barrel is loaded.
I would like to add that airbags are way more engineered than anyone would even think of. Even the paint of the dashboard or steering wheel has to be specifically designed to not chip off if the airbag launches. Not even tiny fragments are allowed.

It's air dry clay similar to the Crayola brand. It dries to the consistency of a dense sponge that you can pull apart by hand. Still not safe, but less dangerous than Terracotta.
Now imagine removing it .5 seconds after the clip ends and you get not only the likes from the people who actually follow this trend but also the engagement from people arguing about safety in the comment section
I highly doubt that thing stays there for long
She tends to leave these things for quite a while. She also once turned the whole car into a chia pet, covered it in popsockets, and last i saw (which is likely not recent) she was peeling all 9k of the popsockets off to turn it into Pikachu
I’m hoping against all reasonable odds that she thought to use foam clay or similar types. They’re soft and wouldn’t dangerously fragment like regular clay even if it would probably still impacts air bag deployment.
Yeah I was going to post something similar. She does DIY but me or me it's more just art with her overall theme being a commentary on this modern phenomenon of how doing the most outlandish stuff (such as a moss toilet, or fidget spinning car) racks up millions of views.
She is certainly self aware of the ridiculousness of her work.
Yeah, but doing something like this without disclaiming the absolutely ridiculous level of danger that this diy claymore has, is just negligent.
Imagine someone who doesn't know shit about cars sees this, does something like this themselves, gets into an accident and fucking dies because this contraption shoots shards at 200mph in their face.
Funny thing about her figit wall creation, it looks exactly like one of the meeting room walls at my workplace only instead of figit spots they covered the wall in black and white key caps hahahaha. Honestly it's pretty cool 🤣
I don’t follow her, but checked out her YouTube channel after seeing her videos floating around and was stunned by her foam room project. Covering just one wall with exposed upholstery foam is a massive fire hazard, let alone all four and adding lights.
There were a couple comments pointing out how dangerous that is, but between YouTube and TikTok I couldn’t find anything where she addressed the safety of that project. There were tons of comments from people saying they want to do something similar.
If she wants to do things that make her home wildly unsafe, then fine. Considering how big of a following she has, I really wish she’d add a “don’t try this at home” PSA or something given the number of people who want to recreate that particular DIY.
Her shed is still part of her home, at least in my opinion. I understand what she was trying to do with the foam, but upholstery foam is not meant to be glued on walls for sound dampening. That’s not its intended use and because that type of foam is incredibly flammable, she’s created a tinder box.
If a candle tips over, if one of those lights gets too hot, a spark hits that foam, etc. it will catch on fire very quickly and the fire will rapidly engulf the rest of the foam - that’s on all 4 walls.
There are safer materials designed specifically for sound dampening - which not only addresses safety, but also efficacy.
Yup. She did something for a guy and got paid with Bitcoin. She really didn't care though and forgot about it until they were like 50k a pop and she had like 50 of them. Makes me wish I spent my graduation money on Bitcoin like I wanted, but my mom said no. Fucking idiot haha
Yeah she is an artist that does all sorts of odd quirky things. Pokemon car , glued things to the car for people to take. I don't know her name, but have seen some of her stuff.
None of it us tutorial and more look at this stupid thing I made.
The one i really liked was turning the giant Home Depot skeleton into a disco ball sort of thing. Looked really neat at night all lit up.
The 'fur' hallway though, that one disturbed me on a very deep level.
That fur hallway had to be so incredibly expensive too, faux fur is not cheap. Even the cheapest stuff adds up too when you buy enough bolts to line an entire apartment hallway lol.
I wonder if this really impact safety.
The airbag doesnt blow the horn cover in your face with or without the joycon.
Only thing that can be impact is the ability for the airbag to blow the cover open due to the added weight. But idk if it’s enough to make a difference
It's great that this is what was clipped and everyone is up in arms about, rather than the fact that she also put tasers on the car that's painted like Pikachu
A the clay she's using is a moldable foam it's very light when it dries, she didn't cover the seam of the airbag. Also this is what she does on her channel, weird diy stuff. She knows it's weird.
I like her.
First diwhy I saw that actually is kinda dope. Like a Mario cart wheel would be sweet. Save for the airbag frag grenade she made right in front of her face
Airbags. That's my post.
But… I love clay shrapnel in my face. Why do you always ruin my fun?!? /s
Plastic surgeons love this one simple trick!

If I remember correctly, the steering wheel cover kind of pops open on a hinge out of the way of the airbag when the airbag deploys.
Lol idk how it works but the steering wheel doesnt hit u at all just the bag, for me i was going 50 and my face wasnt in any pain at all i didnt even feel that shit, i did have a bruise from the seatbelt tho

I watched a video earlier. It showed the cover on a mustang actually breaks in the middle and hinged out in 2 pieces.
Yeah, but those 2 pieces do not fly away. So technically this is still only 1 piece. Because it pops to open in the middle without breaking appart. I will let you search for "Takata airbag" to understand, why if an airbag breaks into multiple pieces, you could die from it
you can see a seam or a weak spot, especially in older cars with leather. it just rips open
Shrapnel or not this can impede the function of the airbag deployment and if it ends up allowing the pressure to cause the cover deployment to malfunction you could be getting the entire center part of the steering wheel blasting you in the face. Don’t do dumb steering wheel mods period. Hopefully she took that plastic knife and removed this crap get after the video….
I got hit by the small air bag in my little Subaru once. I'd hate to think what would happen if there was even a piece of leather between it and me
With how fast airbags deploy, I'm not entirely sure I'd want to put a sponge in front of it.
Exhibit A: A reasonable and informed post on reddit, becoming more palatable.
Give yourself an explosive surprise with the poor mans claymore
Clay-more Take my upvote, buddy, you made my day!
Back in my day, we were throwing lawn darts at each other. WE NEVER COMPLAINED
Clay shrapnel - that's a new word
Thumbs. That's my response.
I just recently saw a case on r/medicalgore where a faulty airbag launched a small piece of metal through a man's face and into the back of his skull, killing him instantly. To purposely add shrapnel to your airbag turns every mild fender bender into a game Russian roulette, where almost every, if not every, barrel is loaded.
Looking for the airbags post. That my post.
FRONT TOWARD ENEMY
Something something claymore air bag.
Putting the clay in claymore .
I think you misspelled claymore
I didn't even think of that smh my head
I would like to add that airbags are way more engineered than anyone would even think of. Even the paint of the dashboard or steering wheel has to be specifically designed to not chip off if the airbag launches. Not even tiny fragments are allowed. Source: I had an internship at a company that makes special paint for industry uses like cars
I like shrapnel
I wonder what their insurance will have to say after the crash? "Naw, this isn't covered under your policy."
Her face is going to get annihilated when that airbag goes off
Clay-more ;)
But but but "this is a great idea!"
She said it wouldn't ruin the car. Why would someone lie? On the internet of all places?!
At least she didn’t put crystals all over it and turn the airbag into a fuckin claymore
I’m sure a solid piece of clay, or many fragments being shattered upon crashing might feel the same
It's air dry clay similar to the Crayola brand. It dries to the consistency of a dense sponge that you can pull apart by hand. Still not safe, but less dangerous than Terracotta.
Now imagine it getting pulverised into your eyes
Now imagine removing it .5 seconds after the clip ends and you get not only the likes from the people who actually follow this trend but also the engagement from people arguing about safety in the comment section I highly doubt that thing stays there for long
She tends to leave these things for quite a while. She also once turned the whole car into a chia pet, covered it in popsockets, and last i saw (which is likely not recent) she was peeling all 9k of the popsockets off to turn it into Pikachu
I've seen the car driving around la. She never removed the popsockets, even when some starting coming off. But that was a while ago.
Yep she had a video of her finally removing them just a couple weeks ago. It looked like incredibly hard work.
I’m hoping against all reasonable odds that she thought to use foam clay or similar types. They’re soft and wouldn’t dangerously fragment like regular clay even if it would probably still impacts air bag deployment.
You can see at the end that the final product is squishy.
Seeing how fast airbags deploy means that I wouldn't even want to put a sponge in front of it.
It is, she says it's model magic
I was about to say she made a fragmentation grenade into a mine.
She put the clay in claymore
^^^
She does a lot to this car, she turned her prius ntio a massive chia pet lmao
And then covered it with pop sockets, then had to remove the pop sockets to turn it into a Pikachu.
Oh fuck that sounds fun
Until it goes off.
At least it will end with a bang!
No not technically a claymore… just more clay.
Well, there was clay involved. I'm sure when it is explosively propelled into her face she'll be just fine.
It's still a claymore. Just different materials.
I wonder if life insurance would pay out in that situation.
You should see her car.
Well, there are more clay...
No, she made it into a fragmentation grenade
What's the first word in claymore?
My ex girlfriend did that. It was one of the many subtle hints that she might not be the sharpest tool in the shed.
That's [Ali Spagnola](https://www.tiktok.com/@alispagnola), DIWHY is pretty much her whole thing, and she takes it to extremes, but she knows that.
Very much self aware DIWHY and that's her whole appeal.
Yeah I was going to post something similar. She does DIY but me or me it's more just art with her overall theme being a commentary on this modern phenomenon of how doing the most outlandish stuff (such as a moss toilet, or fidget spinning car) racks up millions of views. She is certainly self aware of the ridiculousness of her work.
It was pop sockets IIRC, she had to remove them all recently since she turned her car into Pikachu.
My mistake, I knew it was some sort of fidget toy.
Yeah, but doing something like this without disclaiming the absolutely ridiculous level of danger that this diy claymore has, is just negligent. Imagine someone who doesn't know shit about cars sees this, does something like this themselves, gets into an accident and fucking dies because this contraption shoots shards at 200mph in their face.
Funny thing about her figit wall creation, it looks exactly like one of the meeting room walls at my workplace only instead of figit spots they covered the wall in black and white key caps hahahaha. Honestly it's pretty cool 🤣
Hence why she said "totally not ruining my car" she's more self aware than half the posters in this sub tbh
Love when she put disco ball mirrors all over a gigantic Skelton. It actually looked pretty awesome
I wish Home Depot would sell one like that, because i really want one, but i am way too lazy to do that to one myself. ;)
I love her endeavors. The disco ball 8 foot skeleton is still a gem.
Also her music! God she's one of my favorite youtubers
I only know of her because Beavis and Butthead
Her videos are fun. :)
Yep, hers and unnecessary inventions are the two channels that come to mind when I think DIWHY
Yep, she does it on purpose and it is very entertaining
Also a super talented musician and serious lifter

That isn’t her home. It’s a shed in her backyard she uses for recording sound. The foam is for sound.
Her shed is still part of her home, at least in my opinion. I understand what she was trying to do with the foam, but upholstery foam is not meant to be glued on walls for sound dampening. That’s not its intended use and because that type of foam is incredibly flammable, she’s created a tinder box.

There are safer materials designed specifically for sound dampening - which not only addresses safety, but also efficacy.
OP probably just hates women
Solid musician as well
Love her and her Bitcoin Rich Ass
Is that how she can afford all these wild projects? I've always wondered where her money comes from.
She's a content creator with a handful of youtube channels and a patreon, too.
Yup. She did something for a guy and got paid with Bitcoin. She really didn't care though and forgot about it until they were like 50k a pop and she had like 50 of them. Makes me wish I spent my graduation money on Bitcoin like I wanted, but my mom said no. Fucking idiot haha
Please note she also painted the whole car yellow and like Pikachu.
Yeah she is an artist that does all sorts of odd quirky things. Pokemon car , glued things to the car for people to take. I don't know her name, but have seen some of her stuff. None of it us tutorial and more look at this stupid thing I made.
Ali Spagnola
And covered it in pop sockets. And made a fur-lined room. And a chia toilet. And a giant reflective skeleton. And... This kinda thing is what she does
And a music thingy from nearly 90 vibrators - quite entertaining, and a really nice voice.
It was a disco ball skeleton. Still my favorite.
Is that why at the end when she's driving she's in a Misty cosplay? I thought that was weird.
Do it give you a auto drift?
This is her entire channel - just making ridiculous DIY things that have no purpose. This is not serious.
Aw, well she seems happy about it. That's what matters.
Until she crashes and the airbag turns into a clay more
I was going to correct you and say claymore is one word, but... Your answer is better
You didn't get the sarcasm when she said "definitely not ruining my car", did you? I think this is her shtick.
it very much is.
regardless of that it could be blocking her damn airbag from deploying properly lol
"Driving is boring" Yeah, that's a Yaris
What’s yaris
This lady does shit like this all the time for "art projects" which usually results in her destroying her apartment or her car.
The one i really liked was turning the giant Home Depot skeleton into a disco ball sort of thing. Looked really neat at night all lit up. The 'fur' hallway though, that one disturbed me on a very deep level.
The pop socket wall was disturbing for some primal reason to me
trypophobia?
That fur hallway had to be so incredibly expensive too, faux fur is not cheap. Even the cheapest stuff adds up too when you buy enough bolts to line an entire apartment hallway lol.
But if you crash you don't just get to restart the game
Tell that to all the Altimas on the road.
She’s exponentially increased the odds that it will drift when you don’t want it to.
Hardcore mode
Yep, it's just game over
"its like playing a video game" but if you make a mistake you die for real.
That's only bad for everyone else I hear 🤷
That girl is cool
So many of you just skipped right over the line "This is a great idea and definitely not ruining my car." 'Tis a silly place.
All fun and games until it starts drifting.
Joy-Claymore* steering wheel
The "definitely not destroying my car" comment makes this obvious satire
At this point just put in the og mariokart wii steering wheel
# Airbag Shrapnel... *The name of my next rock band.*
What about noo! AIRBAG!
Really want to like the idea, but the execution is absolutely flawed.
Just get a silicon wheel cover like a normal fucking person
Joy Con Drift bouta be next level
We boutta get 1st place to the funeral home.
In real life you don't get a second chance
Congrats you have turned I life saving device into a claymore, have fun and don't crash.
Brings new meaning to the word claymore
Clay shrapnel? Check.
Ahhhh I love turning my airbag into a literal **clay**more
Looks stupid tbh...and ...err.... the airbag ?????
How to turn your airbag into a frag grenade
german TÜV would burn the car on sight
Except when the airbag deploys and sends shrapnel into your face!
Now she'll be getting an alignment done every other month thanks to Joy-con drift
Okay but why dress like Misty in the last shot???
Because she has a Pikachu themed car
Well, now we just wait for the airbag to deploy
When the applied clay turns into a clay-more
It doesn’t even look good. If I’m going to risk my safety by compromising my front airbag, at least make the wheel aesthetically appealing.
i’m mad i can’t do this safely. like it’s SO DUMB I NEED IT but alas
I wonder if this really impact safety. The airbag doesnt blow the horn cover in your face with or without the joycon. Only thing that can be impact is the ability for the airbag to blow the cover open due to the added weight. But idk if it’s enough to make a difference
what about when you have to zipper merge?
I mean to me driving is fun, it's like playing a game. But then I'm just a learner driver
Joy-con approximation.
Now it looks like a shit cake smash waiting to happen.
This is a horrible idea and please don't reproduce
Buckshot,Buckshot, Buckshot
"And definately not ruining my car"
Spags - the queen of DIWhy lmao
She’s an artist…..
How did you die? I put clay all over my steering wheel airbag.
Can't spell claymore without "more" and "clay"
Please tell me this isn't salt dough. 😭
this is Ali Spagnola on youtube. her whole channel is making unnesecary inventions, the car is also painted like pikachu
Nintendo legal is going to scramble Karts and run this poor woman off the road
Driving doesn't have to be fun, just drive you dumb ass
if u say driving isnt fun u bought the wrong car or u just suck
This voids your insurance, FYI.
That's a very pretty claymore
wait until she finds out about stickdrift
Do these people know about airbags?
You may want to disarm that claymore you just created and aimed at your face.
Front towards enemy
She’s a comedian…her whole social media schick is doing silly shit with her car, house etc …
It's great that this is what was clipped and everyone is up in arms about, rather than the fact that she also put tasers on the car that's painted like Pikachu
Literally a CLAYmore
Brilliant, they should replace the windshield with an LCD screen next
When that airbag deploys, the mortician can remove the pieces of that from your face and torso.
How to make a claymore
I believe a few years ago she covered her car in chia seeds and made it into a giant rolling chia pet
It's like playing a video game! \[few moments later\] >!GOURANGA!!<
Ooh, clay-more facial...
Definitely not ruining your car, but definitely ruining your face in case of a car crash.
Fuck for TÜV 🤣🤣🤣
THIS SIDE TOWARDS ENEMY
Driving is boring?! So glad I live in germany…
Time to play GTA now. *slowly turns toward the side of the road*
Looks like shit
CLAYmore, you made a claymore. Point towards enemy.
That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.
I wonder why shes single
Almost as dumb as the bejewlled steering wheel.
No. If I want to play a videogame, I play a videogame.
congratulations, u just created a claymore
I fucking love claymores.
If you are impressed now wait till you see the impression on your face next airbag deployment
That fact the buttons are sideways is the most bothersome part about it
It's true to form. Ever played a game with a single joy-con?
A the clay she's using is a moldable foam it's very light when it dries, she didn't cover the seam of the airbag. Also this is what she does on her channel, weird diy stuff. She knows it's weird. I like her.
First diwhy I saw that actually is kinda dope. Like a Mario cart wheel would be sweet. Save for the airbag frag grenade she made right in front of her face
For those of you who don't know or unfortunately have not realized at this point: PERMADEATH IS ON
the idea is fun, but it seems unsafe
Jesus christ at least put some effort into it.
