Airbags anyone, no, not another male dream. . .

Mr mischief · 05-09-2008

Just found these two little wonders, Airbags for bikes, and how about
airbags on the bonnet (hood/front etc of cars).

Any comments, short of I know they'll be expensive.

its very interesting, dont know or understand how it gets activated, I guess a pull rope may be connected to the bike?

I can see that being a problem when getting off to have lunch somewhere HAHA

looks like it protects the head and upper body well, arms and stomach down, not so much...

but it seems pretty good. Not something I would buy unless they can get the price down.

thanks for the links and post

Honda ought to add a pair of smaller ones in the backs of the fairings for leg protection. Other than that, I'll gladly have a butt-shaped airbag if it works.
