I used to feel like the others who replied to your message: air bags are safe and necessary to save lives. Oh how differently I feel today now that my face is disfigured and my right eye is blind. Do yourself a service and remove the darn things.
My first Saab was a 99 9-3. While driving in Norway (i'm from the U.S. but I do a lot of business with the Norwegians), I came head-on with a moose. Needless to say, my air bag deployed in an attempt to save my life. Save my life it did, but it also disfigured my face.
You see, the Europeans are more fashionable than we Americans. When in Europe, do as the Europeans do and dress as they dress. Being somewhat of a "fashion plate", I purchased a pair of trendy eyeglasses.
When I smashed into the moose, my air bag deployed--straight into my face, forcing my stylish glasses ever so deep into my eye socket. The metal frame of my glasses not only punctured my right eye (no amount of surgery has rendered my vision) but also gouged my face.
Although I did not die (sometimes I wish i did because of my now horrid face), I am grateful the structure of the car saved me. That's why I still drive a Saab.
If you want to learn to remove the airbags of your car, email me. Or click on the link for detailed information.
