airbags kill. Airbags injur. Unless you are the perfect size 5'10" male weighing 200 or so you have a better chance of being injured by an airbag than it actually doing you any favors.

And if it is not against the law to take the airbag out then no the insurance company won't do anything.

Human beings are fatally injured while they sleep. I don't see anyone trying to get people to never sleep.

Stats to prove this please. Just a few hundred people have been killed from airbags; many of these are people sitting too close to the steering wheel (it's now legal to have a dealer install a kill switch for the steering wheel bag if you're very short and sit very close). But yes airbags can injure you, but NO safety system is perfect.
