I'm sure that as soon as some democrat hears about these things we'll have laws requiring them.

male 40 six (previous f**ker) 30 years of driving a motorbike... I definitely have an air bag jacket which i individually have worn for the previous 2 years and my ex spouse ( do no longer ask) wore for over a twelve months. She woman 40 5 ( seems thirty) and been driving because of the fact that she became 17 on and stale. suitable the jacket is an IXS airbag jacket, this is amazingly heavy to strengthen and carry whilst no longer on, yet is gentle to placed on nicely padded and armoured too. this is made up of outer shell water-resistant layer and insulation layer all in fabric. it had a small co2 gasoline canister that's related to the motorbike by a lanyard. it has a kinetic ramp so it takes a dynamic tug to set it off ( under no circumstances finished that yet) so jogging faraway from the motorbike on the petrol pump would not set the bag off. :-) nonetheless seems very stupid.... The jacket value over £4 hundred.00 from J&S motorbike upload-ons over 4 years in the past so in my suggestions it became costly then.... it is not new technologies and fortuitously i've got under no circumstances had to attempt that is skill yet watch the vids on the related source checklist

I don't have one. I advise u to get on a site called bikerkiss to get more info. There are many motorcyclists there. Maybe some of them have such jacets or they know where u can find it.

Great idea, Can you imagine going 60-70mph in traffic and having the damn thing malfunction, sounds like certain death to me.
BTW, the idea has been around for years, but you could not pay me to put one on.
