Eldorado Posted January 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A designer of safety equipment for motorcyclists has unveiled his latest invention: jeans fitted with airbags to prevent leg injuries in crashes. Moses Shahrivar, who has been designing motorcycle safety jeans since partnering with Harley-Davidson Sweden 16 years ago, said his latest invention uses similar technology to airbag-equipped vests that are currently on the market for protecting a rider's chest, back and neck in a crash.

+Desertrat56 Posted January 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I think air bag jackets and something to protect the neck would be more practical than air bag jeans. I see the vest already exist, but what protects a motorcyclist from getting his neck snapped or torked?

toast Posted January 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The most Harley-Davidson (an agricultural machine not used for its intended purpose) drivers I see here have a natural belly "airbag". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted January 23, 2021 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I think I'd prefer Xion's protective gear: Recently I saw a Dutch documentary about it, and it was impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
