Battery disable

I know there is a battery disconnect feature in the X5. I believe when the airbags deploy the battery is disconnected as well to prevent fires. My problem is, if the X5 is in a minor accident, like driving into a snowbank, or being rear ended on a busy interstate or really bad neighborhood the car is dead. Once I determine there is no fire danger I would like the option to drive the car to a safer location. Where does this battery disconnect reside? Can I disable it? Can it be manually bypassed? This knowledge could save someone's life.
