New Airbag technology

I hadn't seen this before. The idea is neat but execution will be interesting.

Nope

 

A red belt Ninja...how big would the air supply have to be to protect someone Mongo's size?

 

Then I couldn't do this

 

He has built-in protection.

 

a shitty animation doesnt make it "new technology".

 

True. However, I haven't seen anyone else attempt to execute this.

 

I beg to differ....

 

Dainese will lose their shit when they see this!

 

The Burrito airbag, coming soon to a dealer near you.

 

Filled with extra carne asada and red hot sauce.

 

hope nobody bumps you while you are on the freeway. One of the main considerations of most of the airbags (Dainese that I know of) is you have to be able to maintain control of the motorcycle in case of accidental inflation. There could be instances where the algorithms will trigger the suit but you may not actually crash (there have been at least one instance of a motoGP rider in at least one early version who basically high sided the bike but landed back on it and was able to continue the race even with the airbag deployed, they usually deflate within a few seconds of the inflation).

If you look at some of the original air bag attempts that Dainese started with in 2000, they started with large external bags vaguely similar to this or the hit air vests, but decided that the internal systems provided better protection.
