I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Great comment from the video.... "Order it in 'green' for under a shirt. If you get angry - hit the button."

Useless - the airbag hardly even touches the road - never mind protecting him. It would probably go off if your mate slapped you on the back while you were trying to look cool chatting to a girl.

The Dainese video is interesting in the fact that it is a controlled low side lay down type of accident.
I'd like to see their test/stunt rider do the same video with a more typical high side launch to see how well that bag protects him.

it didn't do anything he was sliding on his shoulder, and he held his head up the whole time on his own.

Then, there's the 'green' version that doesn't use explosives or CO2 to inflate.... self inflating airbag

I think a full on inflateable jump suit is a good idea. Its should be madatory for everyone to wear not just bikers but everybody. In cars and just out shoping. it should be kevlar so its bullet proof, and everyone should wear a helmet all the time.

You found the new world wide safety uniform.
Those boots are the greatest.

If I had the dough, I would own one. You'll start to see more and more. A buddy high sided at Summit Point wearing one. He swears by it. I believe the main point is to support the neck.
Nothing more ridiculous than being able to walk and feed yourself! I'd rather wear an airbag than a colostomy bag.

They have an airbag for your colon? I guess I missed that one.

You definitely wouldn't want that one going off by accident.
