The 2010 fashion line up for motorcycle riders and speed freaks has to be the Dainese "D-Air" wearable airbag. I know that I am going to try to get my hands on one!

 

There's a vid clip of the first guy that had his deploy while in a wreck. It worked.

 

i want one seriously!

 

Thats actually a pretty cool product if it works as advertised

 

i like it

 

I like it, I am skeptical however
how does it know when you activate? is it kind of a sensor mechanism? if it detects a hard hit to deploy who is to say that it won't deploy if you hit a hard bump, pothole or something.

Like I said I like it I just need to do more reseach on it to see how it works I guess.

 

^^ +1.

Does it work like the cards you attach to your waste on a treadmill? What's to stop this from blowing up at any time and making you look like "Tommy Boy" on the plane?

Also, I can't imagine how this will really save ANY lives. A majority of slow speed accidents result in brush burns to the arms, legs, and lower torso, none of which are protected by this. Additionally, this isn't going to do sh*t for a high speed accident except end up in little red pieces.

 

^ Looks like it might stabilize the helmet.

 

Pretty cool idea, wonder how pratical the price is? Imagine its only affordable to the racing pros

 

It offers more protection to the head and neck area. Although it may not be practical yet, i dont see how more protection can be a bad thing in any way.
