AirBag fuse pull ?

As many of you probably saw the ZL1 AutoX airbag video I need to know if there was an update on this subject.

I was also wondering if you could just pull Airbags fuse for the autox day to have a peace of mind that they wont go off if you spin out.

Let me know how to approach this issue .

Just found the AutoX video as well as this one:



Was wondering the same thing... don't need a $4-6k bill if I happen to curb a little too hard at the track.

I would definitely recommend NOT disabling the airbags on a road course, unless you have a full cage, racing bucket seat, and 5/6 point harnesses....

A low speed autox is one thing... A high speed road course is completely different... They're there to save your life...

I've been told pulling the fuse DOES NOT keep the airbags from going off. They store just enough energy to deploy just in case power is cut in a crash. I found this with a quick search:
Even after disconnecting the battery there is no guarantee that the airbags have been deactivated. As mentioned before the capacitor can hold a charge up
to 30 minutes. The length of time each model of vehicle will hold a charge varies from 0 seconds to 30 minutes. Even after the capacitor has been discharged
there are several factors that may allow for discharge of the airbags.
