If you have kids and one of these, let them try to open it.

Let us know if they can.

my question is did the father show him how to do it and had him practice for the camera?  Or did the kid figure it out himself?

Either way, the safe is....not very safe if that's all it takes and wouldn't buy any of those safes if i had kids in the house.  But the video looks a little staged since he knew exactly what to do.

Yeah, the video shows exactly nothing.  You can't tell that the safe was actually locked or even operational. 

I'm not saying that it's bogus.  I'm just saying that I'm not saying it's real. 

I have one exactly like the one next to his forehead that I use for misc stuff and I let it drop anywhere from 1" to 5" and all I got was phone call from down stairs "_______ what are you doing up there? are you firing your gun cause if you are I'm gonna hurt you!".

I'm not saying that it's fake either but aren't these things supposed to be bolted down anyway? I'm sure it would help  A LOT with the ones that he's dropping. I don't know about that pick though, looks like a mini slim jim.

The picture of the locking mechanism inside the door reinforces the story well. It looks like you could open it by dropping it as the child did or by banging the side of the safe with some type of heavy object.

It didn't look like it was locked to me.  I can't imagine that it works this way....  The one with the keypad is pretty easy of course, the kid only needs to hit four buttons in an order.  I say we go to sports authority and drop those things lol.

These safes are a damn sight better than the crappy cable locks that Uncle Sam demands gun sellers provide us, in spite of Forbes' implication to the contrary.  Here's an idea: don't have heathens for kids.  (I should preface this buy saying that I don't buy the story about the safes being able to be jarred open.)  If your Lil' Bastard routinely does things like rip the rubber facing off your safe and dig around its guts with a coat hanger, one wonders how you've managed to keep the little devil from electrocuting himself, ingesting paint thinner, or jamming his hand into the garbage disposal.
