Some stunting going on, to try and fall off to test the airbags on a jacket- but apparently bikers only want top names on their jacket, and it might not be fashionable enough for us all!!! Whatever.

Just watched it, looked like a good idea, seemed to work for the guy who came off.

Though his comment is a bit naive saying were all fashion orientated, if something is more likely to save damage to me or save my life ill take it.

Also he didnt think it would be too popular as it wasnt cool enough or about there, that was a bit of bull.

Also a good idea that you can replace a canistor and re-use the jacket

That was the lamest test I have ever seen - he may as well have fallen off the jungle gym in a play ground

Good idea!
Needs development though. It needs something better than a pull cord attached to the bike to trigger it - I can see it going off every time I get off the bike!

The 'test' was a waste of time for a jacket though... the guy seemed to land feet first before remembering he needed to roll on to his back!

Oh, and I really hate that presenter... Irritating, and he looks like an alien!

The doughnut he was doing at the end with the bike almost lying down was amazing. Had worse falls than that trying to get in the house after a niht out
