The airbag system still has a capacitor
Which has stored energy within, if this is triggered, it can still trigger the igniter of an airbag. To remove the airbag, I believe it states, to disconnect the battery, remove the fuse/relay for the airbag, and disconnect it from the harness from under the dash, should be connected somewhere on the column before it hits the steering wheel.
And as a precaution, always point the airbag away from your body, basically never have it facing your body.

That is the way I did it the first time, I just wanted to slide my wheel
