They were trialed by (I think) a 125 GP rider last year.

The airbag inflates around the shoulders and neck - I would guess to reduce movement of the head during a crash.

Not sure how effective they would be, but like all protective equipment they are a form of damage limitation and nothing more.


Can't see them being compulsory - Dainese would surely have them wrapped up in patents so no other manufacturer could sell exactly the same thing unless under licence.
