If there is no power to the system, then they will not go off. It takes 15 min after you turn the car off for the system to discharge. But I think that once you turn the car off, and exit the car, it should not go off if hit.

Startocaster appears to be correct. Cars hold a charge a few minutes after they are turned off, afterwhich airbags will not deploy
