Bikes getting safer?

[Fire_Eyes]

Just heard some info that Dainese are trying to invent a leather jacket that comes with an airbag. It is made so as soon as the bike crashes the air bag inflates. How it's going to stand the friction when your sliding about the floor I don't know, but I think it's a great idea. One step closer to a safer ride.

Sounds like a dianese copy of the "hit air" garments already on the market.

I suppose it's protection from the initial impact on the road.

They have been talking about developing it for years. I would imagine the reality is harder to get right than the concept.

How would the suit know when to inflate?

[Jammy-G]

And imagine if it inflated while mid corner or on a roundabout. It'd be like WTF... OMG... SHIT... BANG....

allready been made and dont work very well.

They take so long to fully inflate that you would have to be thrown 50ft in the air in order for it to work (by which point when you land its gonna hurt!)

also there is a can of C02 near your hip so its something hard to fall onto!.

the jacket knows when to inflate when you depart from the bike.

It would be useful if you fell off the ferry on the way to the Isle of Man TT.
