Well, it was just a matter of time before someone came up with this one. An air bag vest to wear when riding the motorcycle. Sounds good in theory but I didn't see any of them in 4X sizes!

Not a bad idea. I can see a problem when you get in a hurry and forget to detach the lanyard and it inflates and then you have to go through the procedure to deflate it.

Hopefully better than the imported body armor the DOD imported for Iraq troops.....

I imagine wearing one UNDER a leather jacket could be fatal. Otherwise, great invention.

Sort of like a Mae West with a big Co2 cartridge on it.
