If you read the article, there is a picture. I'm sure if the author is pro or against the idea of an air bag on a motorcycle. However, looking at the pic, I can see the safty nazi's are at it again. Of course you need protection from yourself right?
Better yet, let me pose this question. For anyone reading this that has seen or heard about a motorcycle accident. How many times during an accident does the rider STAY ON THE MOTORCYCLE? Having had a motorcycle accident myself, I can honestly tell you that the likely-hood of that happening is slim to none. I can see this airbag doing more to injure a person than helping them. Imagine if you will, you're cruising along, and you hit a car. You hit the car head on. Of course you're going to go flying over the handle bars. Now, as you start to fly forward coming up off the seat, this air bag deploy's. What I can see happening is the rider kind of skimming off the top of the air bag and being thrust further into the air, than he previously was. So not only is this rider going to be flying forwards, but now due to the air bag more upwards too.
Just doesn't make much sense to me.
