I am thinking stopping with full brakes may prevent the use of the air bags.

I am actually excited about this new technique to try out, it will save ME a LOT of fuel and increase my coasting safety.
I was originally looking into a electric vacuum pump such as the ones used on some VW passats & jettas or this Volvo brake vacuum pump below. I may not need to spend a dime to get the same result.
