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.
how much hyperextending are you gonna get at 10km/h

i've flown off my bike at higher speeds than that and landed on my feet like it ain't no thang



i guess i should have made this thread autocross specific, as i agree on a high speed track i wouldn't want to turn it off
