Come on now...a fucking low-side?.....let's see the end results of a High-side through T1 at Phillip Island, then i might be impressed. That dude looking for Hi-5's at the end of the clip, get the fuck out of here.
@MrDrFleischer maybe a few hundred dollars worth of damage depending on luck. I crashed like this 3 times at the track before finally t-boning a concrete wall at about 80mph (over many years). Usually break a rear set, might bend a handlebar and some cosmetic damage to bodywork depending on sliders and luck. Of course every crash is different but these are usually the ones that just piss you off and make you go get the duct tape. Looks like he lost a shield on this one.
Interesting concept, but I've seen bike crashes on youtube and can't recall anyone gently rolling of a bike at low speed, search bike crash video's, they need to design a fookin cape for most of them.
they have alot better protection to keep your head and neck secure.... this needs to be a suit that inflates the body parts that are most likely to impact...... I survived a 130mph wreck with no gear so I know a thing or 2 about wrecking.....
If you morons would pay attention you'd notice that this thing isn't meant to protect the shoulders so much as it's protecting the head and neck by limiting the range of motion of the neck and preventing the head from smacking off the pavement. It also helps with letting your body roll with the impact on the ground further reducing the chance of serious injury. The rest of the body is protected by the leathers, gloves, and knee/elbow pads.
These bunch science guys spent 10 year TO FREAKING BUILD THIS? What what a junk! How useless this is, here is good reason why...sharps shards under the freaking balloon...yea pop the protection that is right. it won't save many ppl form disaster, what is chances it will strangled a person? We thought this going be an air bag on every parts that could be vital part of human body being protected (INCLUDING UR NUTS!)
@WatsupBroh yeah a decade. You have to test the sensitivity of the sensors think of the design do tons of 3D animations with a computer test prototypes think of how fast it will deploy where to put the sensors where to put the little tablets in which ignited causes the airbag to go off and much more to do
@WatsupBroh Its not bad actually protect your neck and shoulders...I spent time watching people who had brain damage and massive injuries in rehab I thin they'd disagree with you
@guybramwells yea because all motorcycle accidents happen as controlled slides and not as impacts. that slide would do nothing but give you road rash if it were on the road, if you're lucky enough not to get your head run over by a passing car. ever watch MotoGP? there is my answer.
even though he knew that suit would save him, n a slide like that wouldnt of killed him even without the airbags, hats off to the guy coz that would of still hurt like a BITCH
Hopefully more airbags will come into play on the suit to protect yor back abdomen and legs. Ofcourse you would look like a giant marshmallow rolling down the road but able to get up after an accident with only bruises and scrapes beats being parailyzed or having compound fractures.
wow looks like everyone has negative comments... i agree, it's funny and probably has a ways to go and needs refinement. But airbags for cars also probably received similar skepticism at first, and now how many people would really prefer not to have them especially on a street car? For that matter... look at modern riding gear in general. Decades ago it would've been ridiculed... think about it. I usually wear very little gear myself, but i'd never discourage someone from wearing more.
The pack seems small enough and appears to be fairly light weight so why not attach 3 of these? Extra near the base of the spine which could reach down to cover is arse (that looked like it hit the ground hard in the video) and one on the front to protect the stomach? Great idea though, I love what the concept.
It didn't work to protect the collarbone or ribs at all. If it was effective in doing that it might cause more injury than protection due to the way it deploys
@gardnerbm I know a lot of people just like you. Its fucking crazy, its bad enough driving a car, especially down here in Cornwall with all the foreigners here all year round driving around like they are deaf, dumb and blind. I still ride though but I learnt the way of the road on a mountain bike as a kid so I anticipate and can second guess these people before they know what they are about to do.
@gardnerbm Fact: if you use a motorcycle as your primary means of transport throughout your working life, there's a 1 in 3 chance that it will be the cause of your death.
@rfhamcom im sorry about your leg but, you are talking about crashing with a car. Is really hard to think in something that could make a biker resist such an accident. At least they are doing something.
A better suggestion is not wearing something that will make you roll. Sliding is key to surviving unharmed. That is unless you slide into something in which case that tiny airbag won't help. Make a whole suit that puffs up into the shape of the michelen man and slides.
I'm sorry about your leg but if you've had 30 years experience with bikes you should be aware of the dangers. Lot's of people have rode for less time and lost more. Bikes are great but when it goes wrong people get hurt, if you've got a better suggestion for safety gear then I'd love to hear it.
There should be an emergency blow up doll that inflates in front of you on the bike, because in a frontal impact, either way, you are screwed! Might as well get some enjoyment out of it.
@jeffrosamson LOL, that's a good one...and where was Pedrosa supposed to move to "avoid" him as his line was cut off...to the inside of the curb in to the dirt? Simoncelli did it again @ Assen today, agreed there was real estate on the inside to make the pass but a rider is responsible to safely complete a pass...not just attempt one!
@Apexclipper You obviously have never competed in your life LOL!!! U have no idea about racing by the looks of it, I have raced and am qualified to speak here....thats racing my friend!!! You should just keep your crappy comments to yourself and dream about being a rider LOL hahaha!!!
To all the people out there that are saying that this system doesn't do anything. Watch the video again. His head and neck never hit the ground. That is an improvement cause the rider doesn't have to rely only on the helmet for protection.
