Yes, it's really cool to see. I imagine it's really scary to experience in a less dramatic situation, i.e. when you're not crashing but still having the bag inflate while in the driver's seat (hit when standing still etc).
This article [1] has good technical details about construction and so on, two facts: the bag moves at around 200 mpg (322 km/h) when inflating, and it's all done in 1/25:th of a second, i.e. 40 ms.
