That makes no sense. I hope that no aspiring eco-modder will take that to heart. Those safety features are there to protect you in the event that you can't do so yourself. By taking that out, it leaves you that much more vunerable on the road. And for the record, taking the airbag off won't give you better handling.
Driving without seatbelts is an asinine move. One pothole or sideswipe knocks you out of your driving position and innocent drivers or pedestrians will pay.
