Wearable airbag to make biking safer
Some might say that the danger is part of the appeal of motorcycle races, but protective bike clothing manufacturer Dainese has been thinking about a novel way of improving the safety of bikers for close to 10 years. The result of that research is the D-Air, which is basically an airbag for the drivers. The system was first tested during a Grand Prix race in Valencia by Marco Simoncelli (250 cc division), Simone Grotzky, and Michi Ranseder (125 cc division) and it was a success.
Although you won’t be able to buy the product until 2010, you can watch it in action right now, after the break.
