The proposed new idea of an Airbag suit for bikers

[Scotsman37]

I think the designer has been watching one to many episodes of 'The Prisoner'. I wonder what would happen if you were going down a hilly road at the time or near the edge of a gorge?

I've posted it once and everyone had a laugh back then and everyone's gonna laugh now

Nice idea, but stupid and unreal even in perfect conditions.

EDIT: Just imagine a situation a guy pulls over on a shiny bike, in front of a pub, like a badass and then getting off the bike ''puff'' and he's roling in that ball down the hill. It'd be cool ad for something

I imported a Hit-Air airbag vest from the States a few years back for about £150 including duty and Parcel Farce mugging surcharge.

It has the same chest, spine and neck bags as the jackets. They were developed for equestrian use for reasons that, well, see .sig.

It's tether operated, which is fine for horsists, as they don't tend to lowside. I'd have to highside or do some other form of gymnastic dismount to get any benefit.

I'll probably chuck it on eBay soon, I rarely wear it any more because I am of course super 1337 and haz all the m4d 5k33lz now.

Am I the only one thinking that I would go out of my way to crash with that system. Looks like fun.

it'll probly be like the lidl cheap bike gear and wont go to my size, in that case i spose i'll have to wear a dynamite vest to "concentrate the mind" then?

Funny as most of them are at the moment, they are getting a bit less ridiculous looking

I wouldn't bother at the moment but if they got a bit less bulky in a few year i'd probably consider one for track/wet weather days to be honest.

Write 'S.W.A.T' on the back of the black one and you might even get away with looking cool

Or just deply it 24/7 and look like a storm trooper
