Interesting jacket

Just found this on another site, thought you would enjoy:

Yep, a jacket with airbag(s).

Good idea.

I can see it now...as soon as Your Buddies know You're wearing it,they'll be lining up to slap You on the back!:laugh:
Better pack a few spare cartridges.:laugh:

the fist time you get off your bike without taking off the ripcord you'll need a new jacket.

Can't help but think of the drivers ed teacher on "Spongebob Squarepants"

I also can't help but wonder about the real life effectiveness. In a car collision, you have a low moment of impact, which is what the air bag is supposed to help with. On a motorcycle the odds are much more likely for multiple impacts and lacerations, and studies have shown that cookies break inside ziplock bags just like in the cookie jar.:S

It also looks to me like the neck bag is trying to push the helmet off!:blink:

Maybe I'll just start making jackets that fit over football pads!

Nope...doesn't work that way.It has to be impacted to activate the airbags.It shows it in the video.

Saw this on CNN.com, one of these jackets saved a guy's life recently.
