I did it at the track in case of an 'Agricultural Research Trip' thru the grass and hit a big enough bump to cause it to go off. Without hitting anything else.

I unplugged the wires at the panel because of the ability for it to fire with the fuse pulled.


This is really the reason for my Q. If I go off track and bump the car hard in an OT experience, I don't want the air bomb going off into my chest. It certainly would be the first time for me to enter the green zone, but I'm thinking ahead!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Same if I slightly rear end, otherwise known as touch, someone b/o a misjudged braking exercise (my falut or their's for short braking). An air bomb on track is more of a liability than a plus IMHO.

I suppose a switch hooked to the unit w/in the wheel would be the way to go.

Best Regards
Steve
