when handling an airbag it should never be in a "face down" position as shown in your pictures. In the event of accidental deployment it would turn itself into a projectile, sending the jagged metal back side toward the person handling it. The proper way to remove the bag is to: 1. disconnect battery & wait 10 min 2. remove lower trim and disconnect the yellow wires 3. remove side trim & unbolt the bag from the wheel 4. remove bag and always keep it facing you and store it in a anti static bag facing up. Disposal of "live" airbags is serious as well - typically it is considered a hazmat and should be handled like live ordnance.
