Assuming the airbag system in your vehicle works properly (i.e., not randomly deploying) and you're running 100% OEM safety equipment, I don't see the point in disabling it. Why would you disable it? I can only see the negatives of disabling an airbag system.

If you crash head-on, you'll want that airbag stop your neck/spine from hyperextending. If you were running HANS, then I could see someone disabling their airbag, but my understanding is that HANS should be used in conjuction with cage, seat, etc.
