Airbag for riders

i would be the idiot to get off the bike without disconnecting the tether and looking like a damn blowfish

I own the Hit-Air MLV shown in the video. As long as you've adjusted the tether length correctly, you'd have to dive off the bike for it to go off. I've forgotten about the tether, like an idiot, and you're pretty quickly warned by the tugging from your waist.

I admit that I don't wear it all the time, usually more for when I'm heading out for a longer ride. At 2 lbs, it doesn't add any real weight, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone asks me one day why I'm wearing a life vest on a bike.

At $459, I could understand it not being very common, but it's also not out of reach for someone wanting the extra bit of safety it can provide.

Interestingly enough, the company makes the vests for the equestrian market as well.
