2007 Honda Goldwing
Starting in spring 2006, Honda’s flagship motorcycle will be available with the world’s first motorcycle airbag, able to inflate in 0.06 second and fully absorb the rider’s forward energy in 0.15 second (less time than it takes to blink an eye). This innovation represents a major advance in motorcycle safety.
I suppose it could help if the prang was strictly in-line with the bike and no forces whatsoever impacted on the trajectory of the rider otherwise he slides and hurts like every other rider.
I remember when the Goldwing first came out a writer in Sydney commented “God help you if you put it down in a slide because he’s the only one capable of getting it back on it’s wheels again!”
