Video Okay, we have parachute aligned.

Now, in that case, because it was a very big Rover, we couldn't use airbags.

It's the same pattern, called the water bomb base.

And they want to do their design by simulation.

It's a giant airbag.

And the algorithms that we developed to do insects turned out to be the solution for airbags to do their simulation.

We've done it before.

And this stent folds down using an origami pattern, based on a model called the water bomb base.

You could never put a human inside of an airbag, because they would get squashed.

Those are the origami creases forming, and now you can see the airbag inflate and find out, does it work?

Unfortunately this Rover is, like, ten times the size of the, you know, mass wise, of the other Rover, or three times the mass.

Airbags are pretty cool, they bounce around a lot.

The reason why he didn't make it in that accident was because his airbag didn't trigger properly.

But the problem with airbags is, the airbags you see here, which landed the smaller rover it's like 400 pounds, the entire rover were about the size of this room.

What's interesting about high falls is that although we use airbags, and some airbags are quite advanced, they're designed so you don't slip off the side like you used to, if you land a bit wrong.

I felt the ABS kick in, and the car is still going, and it's not going to stop, and I know it's not going to stop, and the air bag deploys, the car is totaled, and fortunately, no one was hurt.
