Default Air Bags Next?

After the NTSB makes helmets mandatory, will this be next?

Imagine what you look like the first time you get off the bike and forget to unhook it.

the older i get, the better the safety gear looks...don't expect to live forever-but this might cut down on pain and suffering and hospital stay in case of an accident.

It may be a nice added safety feature but if I get to confined I might as well be in a convertible.

I figure something like catcher armor is what they'd like to see us in.
It's orange and black so...

The first couple years of those air bag suit it was nothing but a bike inner tube with a CO2 it inflate. This year is more around the neck then past years.

Default It's funny how most dangerous test's are done with dummies

and this inflatable vest company actually test's with a live subject. Bet their insurance providers had a coronary when they saw that.
