    I haven't seen this posted. So here you go.

    I'm not sure about it myself. Looked like the bags were just on him and not taking the major impact. Looked like he armor took the brunt.

    Yeah, I think I'll stick with body armour for the time being, saw these suits tested before and were deployed by a rip cord attached to the bike, the major problem was that if you forgot to disengage the cord whilst getting off the bike, you inflated like the Michelin man :eek:.

    To be honest, that didn't impress me at all. Body armour did all the work.

    Not that impressed myself, save the shoulders, does nothing for the rest of the body. Cann't ever see motorbike airbags ever working.

    To be honest that was more of a slide than a crash. I've done that myself and walked away without a mark.


    I doubt that thing would help when you get t-boned by a cage. :rolleyes:
