When Bender is speeding too fast through space with the Swag Bag the method he uses (throwing objects out of the bag in the direction he is going) to slow down is scientifically accurate. It follows the theory of conservation of momentum. Momentum (mass x velocity) in a closed system (say tumbling through space) is constant. So to balance out the forward momentum Bender creates when he thrusts the swag objects forward, he experiences momentum going the other way, thus slowing down his relative velocity.
