Ah, common sense. The silent killer. ;) For example: don't leave it there if you have a front seat passenger Even if you try really hard to mount the iPad such that it is precisely centered on the passenger-seat air bag -- which you probably won't do; that's awfully far away from the driver -- how sure are you that an air bag deployment won't launch the thing toward the driver? Or cause a ricochet?

Not all that sure. However I do know that it's pretty low on the list of things that are likely to kill me in the event of a car crash. If I want to optimize for the minimization of my small yet non-negligible chance of dying in a car crash I'd gain a much larger effect by trading in my current car for a Volvo rather than removing my dash-mounted iPad. I'd get an even better effect by improving my driving habits; not listening to music while driving, never ever exceeding the speed limit and only driving when absolutely necessary. But sometimes we trade off safety for convenience.
