The airbag CANNOT go off if the ignition is removed. The ignition circuit can only go off the the airbag sensor algorithm wakes up by seeing a very large change in acceleration. Waiting 10 seconds after removing the key is plenty of safety to remove the airbag.

The airbag is not simply blow up like it is made of unstable nitro. Just don't leave it near a furance. Always place it with the metal side down. Never apply a current to the pins of the airbag module.
