Protecting motorcyclist is a little bit trickier than protecting car occupants
. Because the motorcycle driver is almost always thrown in the air any safety equipment has to be on the cyclist or it won't do good. Airbag jackets are attached to the bike with a cord and when the cord is yanked out during an accident the vest is blasted full of compressed air in less than half a second. The air cushions offer the motorbike driver protection when hitting the ground. The system works with replaceable CO2 cartridges that can easily be replaced after they are used. To avoid unintended use of the system by simply forgetting to release the clip from the motorbike when dismounting, the cord must be pulled out with a certain speed. This guarantees it will only get activated during a crash.
