Justin: Have you considered that some wise Swedish engineers may have included a separate power source for the airbag? In case that the battery cable gets severed in an accident? Just maybe? Your statement that if the bag isn't getting power it can't go off is correct, but I am fairly certain that the airbag is able to fire without power from the main 12V battery. My '93 Saturn certainly can. I think you've just been lucky not to trip the SRS sensor so far.
