Oh Poo..
I see a racing steering wheel on the way.. 
so would it just unscrew and come out?
Or is it like, wire up to the bumper/crash panels or whatever?

I doubt it. It may set the Airbag off. I wouldn't be fucking about with that while sat in the driver seat

So because one airbag didn't go off, when it probably shouldn't have anyway., lets just remove the airbags from our cars.
I'd rather have it there in case I did need it tbh.
I wrote of my car, including smashing the front end in, airbag didn't go off because it didn't need to.

I had a really bad crash on the motorway in my old corsa, and both seatbelt tensioners went off, I hit my head on the steering wheel and the airbag didnt go off! When I got my corsa that I have now, the airbag had been unbolted from the steering wheel and the wiring cut, so I just took the airbag sensor out along with the remainder of the wiring.
