An automated airbag deployment system employs an additional switch that is utilized to prevent inadvertent triggering of the gas discharge initiator mechanism. The additional switch member is placed in parallel with the airbag initiator triggering device. This is a normally closed switch which effectively short-circuits the two electrical contacts of the airbag initiator triggering member. This short-circuit effectively prevents inadvertent triggering of this mechanism of the device through static electricity or some other undesired electrical event. The short-circuit mechanism may be utilized to provide improved safety throughout the manufacturing process as well as after the product has been incorporated into a passenger compartment. The resultant product that incorporates this device is much more stable and provides an additional margin of safety.
