* In ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'', Red Max bails out of his flying car, and counts to ten before deploying his parachute. On 'nine', he falls through the ice of a frozen pond; the parachute promptly emerges from the hole.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' short film "WesternAnimation/MikesNewCar", after Mike finally {{Offscreen Crash}}es the thing, Sully comments "Hmm, that's weird... the airbag didn't go off." Airbags immediately go off, apparently with enough force to send Mike flying.

* Mentioned in passing in ''Literature/XWingSeries'' novel ''Starfighters of Adumar'', when Wes Janson runs into a former squadron-mate who had it happen to him, and tells his story. The other pilot's Y-Wing was so heavily damaged in a battle that it couldn't manage a vertical landing, so a runway was hastily cleared and the pilot brought his bomber in to bleed off his momentum using its (unwheeled) landing gear. The Y-Wing went bouncing and shuddering down the runway, rolling over entirely at one point, only to finally come to a stop miraculously upright. The pilot slumped in relief... and then his EjectionSeat misfired. To make matters [[FromBadToWorse worse]], this was all happening on a small, airless planetoid with very light gravity, so he ended up making escape velocity and went sailing off into the void, to be retrieved by a search-and-rescue shuttle. The pilot thus came to be known as Tomer [[EmbarrassingNickname "Ejector"]] Darpen.

* Mentioned in passing in ''Literature/XWingSeries'' novel ''Starfighters of Adumar'' when Wes Jansen runs into a former squadron-mate who had it happen to him: He managed to nurse a severely damaged starfighter through an extremely rough but ultimately safe forced landing, only for the electrics to short out and cause the ejection system to trigger moments after he'd come to a halt. And since this was happening on a small, airless planetoid with very light gravity, [[FromBadToWorse he ended up making escape velocity and went sailing off into the void]] and had to be retrieved by search-and-rescue shuttle.

Totally not TruthInTelevision, since airbags are directly released by impacts. Likewise, parachutes don't unfold without motion to create air resistant. Always supposed to be funny. See also DelayedCausality. ''Definitely'' not to be confused with FunbagAirbag.
