Given your paranoia, I can't believe you actually sit behind an airbag as you drive down the road. It could spontaneously initiate.
Sure you are. You're making the assumption for other people that their depletion circuitry still works, and telling them there's no need to wait.

I drive a euro - no bag. Anything else I drive (airbag equipped) says "wait 20 minutes before working on ABS system" in it's FSM's...

As far as this "strawman" (I had to look it up - wasn't familiar with the term in your context) business goes, I have no need to make up stories about people getting killed at work; it happens on a daily basis. It's just as true as you having 40+ years experience in the trade, which I do believe. After all, it is usually the older folks that don't consider safety a high priority.
