honda's attempt at an airbag on a motorcycle beats that on my list of dumbest things i've seen.

do a search for the 08 gold wing, you'll see what i mean.

the forces on the human body during a crash on a motorcycle aren't the same as in a car. the last thing i'm worried about if i should wreck a bike is hitting the dash/windshield. it's the GROUND that i'm worried about. the fact that the jacket is attached to the bike is retarded. no matter what they do to "lessen" the chance of accidental inflation, i don't want to be attached to the bike. i have a hard enough time remembering to unplug myself from the bike with my heated vest/gloves in the dead of winter.

IDK, airbags do save lives at times but the impact of it on you, well I know I had a airbag deploy was I was driving and it's no joke.

There's no "safe" on a bike, let's see I had a judge once say "we as bikers take a chance everytime we get on a bike".

Even the most experienced riders go down, it's just the luck of the draw and if it's your time to go, well it's your time to go.

I thought the same thing. He should have dipped out and slammed into a wall or something a little bit faster.
