Rallycross and airbags
#2
Good question. I've heard of some people just removing them but if your going to drive it on the road too then I wouldn't. As far as disconnecting them I believe the only way is to disconnect your battery but I could be wrong. Possibly pull the wires out of the harness for the air bag?

I've done some pretty ridiculous stuff off roading in trucks and never had an airbag deploy. I wouldn't think they would deploy unless you hit something but don't take my word on it because I have no experience off roading cars.

If you stuff the car off of a jump hard enough to deploy the airbags, you'll probably be glad they did. Leave them functional.
I have similar experience to riderun in my long travel ranger before it was gutted and caged. Plenty of suspension breaking, axle bending shenanigans occurred in that thing with no airbag deployments.

unless the rules require you to remove them, you should leave them in.

Not necessarily off topic because it just further demonstrates the point that it depends on the vehicle. I've literally seen Jeeps and Trucks crash into a bank at at least 10 MPH downhill and have no airbag deployment yet some vehicles deploy the bags without detecting hardly anything.

I rallycrossed a few years.
The goal of SCCA rallycrosses is to be mild enough to avoid any concern about airbag deployment. I wouldn't worry at all. Think autocross on dirt/grass/sand/gravel/snow etc. Mild "jumps" Like 1-2 inches.
Wheel to wheel global rallycrosses, I have not run any, would definitely be advised to remove airbags.
