Depends on how hard you drive. Removing it won't mean unconditional, instant death, but it will make the car tilt more when cornering and may cause or contribute to other changes to the wheel alignment. Driving without one would mean an added risk, as you never can tell when you'd need to make a sudden turn. Still if it was that or having the car towed or trailered I'd probably drive.
