The Smart Jacket monitors what's happening around the motorcycle rider 1,000 times a second. It always deploys the Shield when necessary, and only then, to provide the rider with maximum protection.

For any motorcyclists looking for extra protection, Dainese is having a rare 20% sale on its untethered air bag vest.
It is still a good chunk of change but it is basically the price of a nice helmet but for protection for your upper body.
Today is the last day of the deal.

Just because riding is more dangerous than a car doesn't mean you throw all safety measures out. It isn't all or nothing in this life, you do what you want and you risk mitigate to your preference. Not all bikers are lunatics, some of us enjoy the thrill, enjoy saving money on gas, enjoy getting to work and through traffic faster, and enjoy getting home safe.
By the way, every bike is one less car in front of you on your commute, so embrace the two wheelers out there and to the OP thank you for sharing.
Despite being in the presence of someone so smart and so knowledgeable, let me try to present some information. These have gyros that make one analysis per millisecond, and take another 30-45 milliseconds to deploy. That means you'd have a fully-inflated bag in probably under 50 milliseconds on the high side. I'm sure you are aware of how fast that is, being so knowledgeable, but for the other people that don't know better, you'd only travel ~7.4 feet flying off your bike at 100mph (just under 148fps) in that time, or about 5ft at a more sane 70mph. You'd still have 50-350 milliseconds left to complete an eyeblink.
But, now that my dripping sarcasm has stopped, I'd love to know how you being a bad rider translates to understanding time intervals.

If you're on a bike, you damn well better be wearing a helmet, and drive sensibly, if you are concerned about safety.
Better to wear a really tough jacket, and invest in a set of skid bars for your bike, if you want addition safety, vs buying this.
Bringing up the head as the most important thing to protect is true, but has nothing to do with this equipment. That is what helmets help to protect.
Nothing is a guarantee of full protection, but understand that any preventable back injury is money well spent if within your means.
I would pay retail of $700 without any qualms for this if I still rode. Had to give it up because everyone around me is a hazard to me. It is hard for drivers to see a biker sometimes, even while paying attention.
I am in the having crashed club. Lucky for me no serious ones. Anyone who rides has had close calls that could have gone very wrong. Think about how many times someone pulled out in front of you like you were not there. Cut you off, didn't care even though they did see you. It is really shocking when the fun gets sucked out of the hobby by the danger.
With the ubiquitous advent of texting, phone calls, and other distractions while driving, plus being married to an insurance claims adjuster who gets many cases of motorcycle accidents, I retired from riding, and not ashamed to admit it.
Personally, this is the first I have ever read of this equipment, and it sounds like a great investment for casual riders and a must for professionals.
If you don't ride but you do drive please watch out for motorcycles when you are out an about and apologies in advance for the riders that do dumb shit and make all of us look bad.
Stay Safe no matter how you choose to do it. Somebody somewhere will care if you become a statistic.
And this concludes my public service announcement.
