Airbag in the leathers...in the 2500cc qualifying

[barry sheene]

Blimey , just seen one of the 250cc chaps come off and pop, instant airbag round his shoulders...amazing

[F.M]

fantastic ...handy if a rider were to take a tumble in front of a packed field of riders too I`d have thought.

Ah... saw the thread title and thought... "wow, haven't seen THAT class before, must be a riot what with 2.5 litres and all"...

Let's hope they don't go off when you hit a pot whole. You could end up like Mr Blobby and bounce like a space hopper!

What happens if you then want to pick the bike up and carry on racing?

Apparently it's detachable once inflated enabling the rider to carry on

[kingb]

thats a very good idea
good work the manufacturer

[IL TORO FURIOSO]

Very good idea, and thats excellent move forward safety wise but i could help laugh at funny it looks.

Imagine Vally in the gravel trying to rip off this big inflatble thing stuck to his back

[IL TORO FURIOSO]

also at a second glance, you know somtime you get those piles cushions from the pharmacy, it looks like one of those i.e like an inflatable toilet seat

[RemaL]

amazing idea, but looks like the michelin man

[Hooli]

i thought it was a travel pillow & he'd overslept during a doze up the straight

[Rawwr]

Hmm, should we all chip-in to buy one for Chilli?
