Who said anything about
disabling the SRS system? (Why do you CONSTANTLY do that? - put words in peoples mouths)
As Tob' rightfully points out side-airbags (which are part of the SRS system, btw) have merit/functionality that standard belts alone don't provide.
Milt, my cars with airbags also have significant belt tensioners. (which JO's car clearly did not have. ...and I don't know how tightly JO snugs his belts)
Point being, all but the freakiest front collision/accident scenario are handled as well by belts alone. --that is, for the belted occupant, airbags can actually/often cause more problems than they solve. (note: no more driving w/ hands at 10 and 2. ...bad bad bad...)
