Hmmm, the first one didn't seem to do much. Cool idea though, anything to keep us safer out there.

maybe there should have been one on the bum too

I knew a guy who had something along those lines. He had to use it one day and he said it saved his life.

I can see me jumping off the bike with the second one and forgetting to unplug.

I agree.
This first one activated after the crash. practical if youre thrown but useless for initial impact.
The second one is a better application. Just wondering though if accidental activation would be a problem.
Every bit helps I guess.

I was reading an article about these and there are several factors that have to combine for an activation.. monitoring engine speeds, cord tension, things like that.. So if the bike is off you should be able to pull the "rip cord" and not have a problem. In 5-10 years when it trickles down to us and is affordable I'll be getting one.

I agree.. I keep picturing someone getting off their bike trying to look all cool cause they have their pricey gear on and *poof*, they swell up like a blowfish...

The Honda Goldwing has an active air bag system...looks like the best thing for frontal collision, leathers would take care of the low side slides as in the first video, but nice to see some developement for safety we can use on our own rides... TonyE.
