I touched on this subject a couple of times. Check out these threads and the links for the video footage of the hit air in action. http://vfrworld.com/forums/general-vfr-discussions/9415-would-you-try.html http://vfrworld.com/forums/anything-goes/11020-real-life-air-bag-jacket-helps-save-life.html
No worries dude. I was just showing you what info that I gathered so far. I actually am a fan of the hit-air (my gf thinks I should get it, always worried about me). It looks like it could dramatically absorb impacts. I say go for it!
Have you watched any of the videos from the other threads that I linked?? Some of them are pretty interesting to watch. They have a slide and t-bone type scenario. I think getting used to unhooking it each time you dismount, would take some getting used to.
I think Santa might get one for me:smile: IMO it is very useful thing,you newer know where Matilda is waiting,when I`ll go down hope this vest will be on me. Found another thing from Dainese it is racing leather suit with integrated air bag which is NOT connected to the bike.Air bag is controlled by computer with some kind gyroscope which can deploy air bag in 40 mili seconds (computer can recognize lowside,highside........)I think suit will be available in 08/09. The future is in front of our doors!
hahaha....I know it is for safety, but you have to laugh at seeing that dude walking around with the big stuffed animal-looking thing on this shoulders! Hell, I would just wear it inflated all the time for style! BTW, the computer controlled one with a gyroscope sounds pretty interesting. I would like to read up more on that one.
