Ford Motor Company would like for you to know that the new pressure-based side-airbag sensors in the 2010 Taurus are not stupid. To illustrate this point the company's engineers ram a bunch of junk into the door.
The idea is to prove that the sensors know the difference between being hit by a run-away shopping cart and a car.
Incidentally, the thing in the shopping cart that looks like a 110-pound weight is a 110-pound weight. Not satisfied with the stereotypical cart demo, the Fordies rammed a bicycle wheel into the door and then shot a softball-sized nub into it.Then they threw empty bottles of Mickey's big mouths, sod, hateful people and the Volvo division at it. That last part is not entirely true.
Enjoy the body damage.
