Would you try this??

Looks kinda cool. Only problem is like my electric vest which unplugs when I get off and forget to unplug ... would I really look the fool when I got off and my jacket inflated !!!!!

 

And I know I have done that a lot

 

:smash: AAAAAAAAAH .... jacket inflating ... bike on ground ... seems I'd be the fool either way ... LOL

 

Yeah, says 55lbs of force is needed...

 

winner of Nozzle's funniest Thread of the day.

I like the site. I expected to read poor engwish like:

Hit-Air useful for bridge water crossing stunt accident!!

I think the Goldwing's system that is tied to the bike's computer would be preferred, but.... I'd love to hear someone's opinion after they did the the flip dismount.

from the Hit air website...."K.Y. Kim" That appears to be the daughter equivalent of naming your son Richard Head.

 

LOL Nooooooooooo ... did that Chips thngy once waaaaay back in the old suzuki 850G days ... after a long trip. tired. not thinking. luckily was next to my truck (like real close!) or both of us would have been lying in the carport looking up at the wife trying to explain my motorcycle expertise on that dismount .... :yield:

 

I dont think it would be safe in the long run ? it might be funny ( bubbleboy gets in a motorcycle accadent and ends up bouncing 500 ft. away) (ha ha)

 

I like it but does not give cost $$ . Also need to develop airbag to inflate to protect from bike damage ...

 

Air bags are desined to rezist a inpact inside a car right so what would happen to a air bag at 45 MPH dead blow ? how much will this weigh ? and like Slovfr said whats the coast ? for me its a NO but we are all defferant .

 

life vest

It looks like it would work best if you flew in to the river . personal inflation flotation device PIFD:biggrin: I would not like to "try it" but I think it would help lessin injury in a crash

 

Hey Jason,
This might turn out to be a good thing ? i wonder how fast it could inflate because you never know when your going get t-boned ? and i know that you wouldnt take off bouncing i was being funny, and i mist say i do agree with you one on thing the snatches

 

I think these devices are a great idea especially for urban riding and commuting. It also a testament that motorcycling is trying to appeal to more and more people every year by having available safety gear beyond armor and leather. I would definitely consider one of the vests for when I commute, but not in the summer here!

 

the air bags, like those used in car air bags, are probly designed to deflate upon impact, the idea being that by doing a controlled deflation, they would absorb and dissipate some of the impact energy
less impact energy = less damages to your body
