Bare with me guys...
Can our airbags deploy even if the entire steering/airbag is disconnected and out of your car? I mean can an impact to the uninstalled steering wheel set off the airbag? Or even better a change in pressurization? Static Electricity? --------------------  |

the signal from the sensors releases potassium nitrate (don't quote me on that) into some form of sodium thats surrounding it. so if the airbag is in a situation where whatever seal is holding the potassium nitrate is broken the airbag could go off, so probably something like excessive heat or (like Batman said) throwing it against a wall a few times might [might] do it.
in other words, I don't really think you need to worry about it -------------------- |
