My friend was telling me something about a vest that you can wear when riding, that has c02 cans it in that rupture when a string is pulled as you fall off your bike, inflating the vest and preventing much damage. You all know anything about this?

 

what if you forget to unhook it from the bike when you park and walk away?

 

I guess poof!!!! I assume you can deflate and reuse, but im not entirely sure it exists, thats why im askin the people with knowledge.

 

i've seen prototype versions of it, and i think BMW has it on one of their prototype bikes but as far as i know there isn't one in production... its a good idea though

Here's a jacket that'll do the trick from a company called Dianese...check it out.

 

i saw an infomercial for those.

 

Thats shocking, i didnt think it would open in less than a second, but im glad it does.

 

yea ive seen them in magazines before

 

Im not sure if i see the use, a good back protector would seem to do the same thing and more, unless you get run over with a car lol!
