I just try very hard not to fall off.
People have been falling off motorcycles without airbag vests and not dying for a long time now.
Which is more likely to prevent you dying in a motorcycle crash. An airbag vest or an IAM advanced riding qualification? Now which do you think is more expensive? (IAM membership is £149). |

But you forgot a third option - an airbag vest AND advanced training.
Other than cost, why are the two apparently mutually exclusive?

Imagine that crash helmets weren't compulsory in the UK, and we were having this discussion about helmets, rather than airvests,,, you could substitute "helmets" for "airbag vests" in your statement above, couldn't you? But maybe that's OK?
I'll happily admit to wearing a Helite Turtle vest; have done for several years now. No it's not particularly cool and people sometimes take the piss a bit, but wearing it affects my enjoyment of riding a bike not one iota.
Every time the topic of airbag vests comes up we get this mantra that training, experience, rider abiity etc is far more important. If so, should we all get trained up and wear T-shirts, shorts and flipflops to ride our bikes all summer? The answer from 99% of riders would be 'no', because there's a recognition that what we do carries a quantifiable risk of at some stage sliding down the road on our arses, no matter how good a rider we think we are, so we wear protective gear to mitigate the outcome of that. All that an airbag vest represents is another level beyond the basic helmet/boots/gloves/riding suit combo that most riders wear - I just think it's simply up to individuals where they choose to draw their own personal line as regards the level of gear they use.
(FWIW - I documented here my own experience of my airvest getting deployed a few years ago. tl;dr - judging by my mashed helmet, the paramedics reckoned I'd have ended up with a busted neck without it, rather than a few sore ribs and a broken collarbone.) ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS
