Title: Suit Airbags
Post by: alexm on September 09, 2010, 03:46:17 PM
This question was asked over on the WERA board, but I was curious if anyone here tried the SaferMoto air bag, on the streets or race track:

It looks a bit...bulky...but if it keeps your neck from moving too much once inflated, or absorbs the force of another object (bike) hitting you, I figured it'd be worth it. Anyone try them on, or even see them in person?

Alex, there was a thread on the WERA bbs about a kid who highsided with his front wheel.  He was wearing an air bag in the video...
