Casper Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Okay, I've always thought this was the dumbest idea I've ever heard of. Most of you have heard me ranting about this before. Well, today I saw a picture that might be changing my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Interesting but I don't know about over effectiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 That was the ONE incident where the airbag worked though... all the other pictures and videos show the airbag basically throwing the rider off the bike ... still might be an ok consequence...but w/e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airbag shoots straight up out of the front fairing. If you're leaning over looking at your headlight, maybe you'd get thrown off.

NinjaNick Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Idk, I think I'd still rather jump off my pegs and on top or over the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I hate having air bags in my cars, screw having an air bag on my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yeah, because that's always possible. It worked really well for Kenny. Worked for many too. It's a gamble. There is no safe way to play the car vs bike game. If you find yourself in the game you have to think fast and hope for the best. Some make it and some don't.

dsump Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'd be all over this airbag jacket. I need a dual sport one. I hear they are big in Europe. The jackets retail for $450.00 US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 i think they make airbag vests too. not sure who makes them, but if you already have jackets/suits you can buy the vest and wear that on top of the other stuff. i think they're a bit cheaper... but i don't know by how much.

jessecwalters Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 That airbag suit looks kinda homosexual. Looks like it would help in case of a crash but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Think people ride like assholes now? Wait until the fear of dying is removed from the equation.Squids don't wear gear as it is, why would they buy an air bag suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboglock Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 in that video you can see that with out the airbag the rider clearly broke his neck. I dont see how an airbag could be a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 if it helps, and it's not obstructive when riding, why not?I've only seen them on wings before this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gl1200 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I know they have been available on the Gold Wings , Luckely I don't know anyone who have tried them out yet . I don't know what all bikes offer them other than the Wings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
