    Lino Dainese the founder of Dainese actually came up with the idea on a napkin of an airbag system for motorcycle riders in 1994 and has been in development ever since. Most think this is new technology but had been been developed by Dainese for a long long time now. -Dainese NYC employee

      @@ghsf1234 I'm thinking you forget it was a completely different time. You seem like you dont get it at all though. People used to smoke and do just about everything, an example of a world class athlete would be Ben Hogan he never put a cigarette down to hit a golf ball. He would have also probably been smoking homegrown tobacco hand rolled and unfiltered which was actually when tobacco was no where near as bad for you as it is with all the crap they add to it. They also raced without pretty much any protective gear, people used to be a lot tougher hence a badass.

  • @roarkshsha

    It is amazing, almost surreal, how little protection motorcyclists had before the late 70's. What took so long? Football ( North American ) players had protection. Hockey players had protection ( ok, not all wore helmets ). Maybe motorcyclists related more with rugby players. I don't know? Its just that it seems to me that all this could have happened a lot earlier.
    Thanks for the history lesson.

    wow! i knew we hungarians invented everything ( *sarcasm ON* ), but reading this pattern detail about the motorcycle airbag was a real surprise! and knowing how things "worked" in this country back in the 70s (and partially today) i can see why we didn't conquer the biker world with this invention.

  • @op3l

    I'd say they should add more airbags along the arms and legs too if possible. If I was ridding in motoGP, I'd want to look like the Michillin man when I flip off the bike in a high side or low side.
