If your timing is right, you'll have turned the knob when the safe's lock bounces open for a brief moment. As you can see in the video above, you literally drop part of the safe against the table (or whatever surface it's resting upon) while turning the locking knob. It's apparently easy enough for a kid to do, but looks like it could take a bit of practice. The technique you use to crack an electronic safe is called safe bouncing (which is an accurate name once you see how it's done). In the event you need to break into your own electronic safe, here's how to do it. You could forget the code, the electronic mechanism could fail, or someone could change the code without you knowing. If you have a digital safe with a passcode entry, a few things could go wrong.
