That's not relevant. Insurance companies factor in the number of airbags your car has (among a laundry list of other things) when they come up with your rate. So if you start removing safety devices, they can argue that your car is essentially no longer the car they agreed to insure. It doesn't matter that other cars don't have them. But like I said, to each his own. We all choose to take risks in life. I probably take some risks that you wouldn't choose to take as well. I don't feel the need to call you a "wimp" or "scared" on account of that.
