Guest ratchethack Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The more I think about it -- Let's see the long-term data first, but well, maybe. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'll bet if I was wearing that Dainese solution during my last accident I still would have had a broken shoulder, but if I had been wearing American Football shoulder pads, I probably could have ridden home. An air conditioned grizzly or trojan suit from this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Hurtubise would surely work better. Still there is potential in the airbag design to reduce neck injury. What triggers the air bag, and where do you store the gas canister? Hopefully the canister won't increase injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Old news... This one is already on the market for over 10 years: http://www.hit-air.com/ I've built the website for the dutch importer: http://www.airbagjas.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v50man Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Tragically, this is about the best thing Simoncelli has done since moving to the 250 class... Yeah, that's Marco... I had such high hopes for the boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the canister won't increase injuries. No canisters, "gas generators" as in gunpowder-type materials. Actually, it's more akin to the primer compounds, from my understanding of the speed of conflagration, but as usual, I'm probably wrong... Anyway, they take up much less space than a CO2 bottle, & inflate faster [the latter being the more critical feature.] Ride on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
