Smash one of the sensors. That will work.

I've always wanted to get some airbag modules from the junk yard so I could stick them under sofa cushions at a party. Wait for someone you don't like to sit over one,, and,,, POW! hit the button

Default RE: Air bag

use a 9v battery and touch the wires to it poof, the sensors on most air bags are inertia sensors its a metallic ball with a magnet u need to generate enough force of a 30mph minimum front end collision generally to set them off, the sudden impacts forces the ball away from the magnet to touch a contact and the other end of the box, its quite difficult to just smash the sensor.
