Default Wrecked Goldwings, Ouchy

Check this out.

I know goldwings are basically cars, but at least its a Honda. The physics of the crash are scary as hell though, you get to see 2 identical bikes wreck at the same time in the same way, ouch!

not yet they are testing airbags for bikes though... I've also seen jackets that have airbags that inflate to keep you from hitting the ground so hard... I'll look for video of that one

Actually they've been available on the Goldwing since the 2006 model.

Looks like it definately made a difference. I wouldn't be surprised to see airbags mandated in all bikes in 10 years time.

Looks more like he would be singing high notes for a couple of days.
