I have always been of the opinion that air bags are more bad than good. They add significant expense and potential for injury. If they go off you are flying blind, so you had best hope whatever you hit stopped you. I can see where the side airbags could be of some benefit in a side impact, but that is about it. I have read up on it a fair amount, but I guess that means I am a bit stupid, eh Milt.

Up to you if you decide to disable the SRS system in your car. Be aware that doing so might open you up to a lawsuit in case a passenger suffers injury in a collision.
Of the crash damages I've seen, the worst ones are collisions at the LF or RF corner. The collision drives the suspension into the footbox area, and the air bags don't deploy because the decel forces are off-center (the front SRS sensors are optimized for head-on collisions). Avoid those cell phone calls when driving.
