That is definately faked. An airbag does not inflate that slowly by going "whooosh". It has to have enough abrupt force to bust through the vinal on the steering wheel. Secondly an airbag is covered with talcum powder so that it can easily deploy when activated. And when it busts through the steering wheel there is a big cloud of dust. Third, the airbag has a big hole in it so that it can quickly deflate. An airbag does not stay inflated that long. And lastly, a tap on the bumper does not activate the airbag. There are sensors in the bumper, fenders and on the top of the shock towers. A certain number of those sensors would have to be disrupted in order to activate the airbag. And beleive it or not, there are instances where the airbag does not deploy in severe frontal impacts. The system is designed to err on the side of not deploying in a real accident than for it to deploy in the instance of hitting a large pothole in the road or a rock hitting the bumper.
