I imagine his wife's family would be upset that their daughter died when her
car (It is her car that he wants to disable the airbag on) is in a fatal
accident after he disabled the system.

I know this is late but being an Insurance guy:

I don't know about other states but in the state of PA there is a
process for legally doing what the OP is asking
1. go to a dealer and tell them you want to install a disable switch
2. fill out a form that goes to the state informing them of your
decision to so
3. call your insurance company and let them know what you have done


The insurance company that I work for would just remove the passive
restraint discount
(30% for us)

Or you could invert it: He knew that she sits too close to the airbag,
which presents a hazard to her. If he didn't disconnect it and she was
killed by the airbag...

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
