This is the safe thing to do. A bag heavy enough to set off the sensors (usually 10kg) is gonna kill someone if not belted in in an accident.
It is not uncommon for bags to go through the front windscreen and kill someone in the car that crashes into you.

It's rare to have a 10kg bag in your car. It's vanishingly unlikely to have a 10kg bag in a position where it can fly through the front windshield and hit, and kill, someone in the car that crashes into you. Of course there's enough kilometers driven that it happens, but that doesn't make it anywhere close to 'not uncommon'.
