Hit a wall going about 35mph...that should do it

pull the isr fuse and then you can disconnect it I believe. Not 100% sure though, I like my airbag

Not sure if there's a capacitor though, so you may want to disconnect the battery and turn the headlights on for a bit

i think you leave it sitting for a couple of hours before you remove it, or disconnect it from the battery...it might call for 30 min, but id leave it for a couple hours to be safe, airbag's deploy at 200mph...

At 200 mph it doesnt matter if the airbag deploys, you become canned meat.

I would prob disconnect the battery the night before and then go for it the next day.

These particular Ford airbags are VERY powerful. I would disable it too.

Damn... I've been thinking on ditching my airbag for a better looking steering wheel. After watching these vids, I'd definitely look for a tilt steering wheel, then.
