I've got the same remote mounted in the same place on my Isuzu VehiCross. I think that when the airbag inflates, it flips the main "face" of the steering wheel up, so the remote shouldn't shoot out at you, but rather towards the dash.
The only thing I'm worried about is the remote hitting my right thumb if it does go off, as I usually drive at "ten and two o'clock".
