Speaking from an Electronics/Communications Technician's standpoint, the
automotive system is one of the harshest environments to operate
electronic devices. Lots of electrical noise and transients to cause
problems.

If you are of short stature, you can apply for permission from the NHTSA to
have your bag disconnected. It is well known that small individuals are in
great danger from airbags because of their need to sit close to the wheel,
hence the NHTSA's height allowance.

However, according to this page:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/airbags/pag...sABDeactiv.htm
you must be 4' 6" or less to qualify for legal disconnection.

Canada has no federal requirement for airbags, so in most places they may
be disconnected without legal or insurance penalties, and without need for
permits. Most garages will do it for you for about $40.

Make sure you are sitting at LEAST 10 inches away from your frontal airbag
to help minimize injury.
