I've replaced well over 100 airbags at work over the past few years. Im not too entirely scared of them Most connectors have a Ground-Out plate that touches them pins when disconnected... My biggest fear is when disconnecting or reconnecting. Then when I turn the key on the first time I lean out of the way.
