Airbags 200 1992

Hi everyone

I have a 1992 240 wagon with a driver's side airbag. The owner's manual says to have the airbag serviced after 10 years...has anyone been through this? (I do not know if it was serviced, as I didn't buy the car until 2005.) Is it worth it? Should I just disable it?

My concern stems from the fact that I have been in an accident where the airbag deployed, and it caused my only injury. I have permanent eye damage and now have a high risk of developing glaucoma from the blunt-force impact. (For the record, I was not in a Volvo, but a Ford...ick...and I was the passenger, not the driver)

I would only consider disabling it because airbag technology has come a long way since then, and earlier airbags are actually known for doing more damage than good. Anyone been hit with a 240 airbag?

Any advice would be helpful...
