Motorcyclists are often at a disadvantage where safety is concerned since they are often left defenseless in the event of an accident. The Airbag Jacket aims to help reduce the number of injuries or fatalities on the road by puffing up at the point of impact in order to cushion any potential mortal blows. Airbag Jackets have been around for several years already, and have been proven effective when a Baltimore man was thrown 100 feet from his bike, suffering from just sore ribs and a broken thumb when smashed against the pavement. If you’re a motorcyclist, I’d strongly recommend picking one of these up as it is just about as essential as a helmet, so don’t let the $500 price tag prevent you from forgetting about your own safety.
