20+ years as a german dealership tech never saw one go off. I don't do it anymore. Granted we always handled them correctly with precautions as mentioned above battery disconnect, discharge, wait etc. Certainly you don't want tools in hand when disconnecting. Whether from side or in seat you want to disconnect cleanly so don't fumble if from the side. Your hand is naturally going to be behind the airbag when disconnecting so that's unavoidable injury risk!

Usually a couple hours if all goes smooth. Sometimes a bit longer if initial test fails. Unfortunately I don't/cant do while-u-wait, but can offer a 24hr turnaround by post if you send me your faulty sensor. Or can send you an exchange unit if i have one in hand but none atm. DM to arrange if required.
