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.

A lot of people that don't have a clue posting a lot of worthless comments here. This is a great advance in safety and is finally coming down in price. Two years ago this could only be had in a 1000 dollar jacket, and before that only in a full leather suit. For those uninformed this is a step up from all other safety tech because it prevents your neck from getting tossed around during a tumble. So it goes together with your other gear, the helmet to keep your skull in tact, the leathers to keep your skin on, and this vest to protect your neck, back and ribs.

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.
Imagine thinking that being in an accident makes you qualified to make such an assertion. It's amazing you haven't been employed by Dainese or A-Stars, what with your massive wealth of knowledge.

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.
Ty!
Hopefully more motorcycle deals

Quote from movelikeaninja :
As a rider that has been in two accidents, the damage will be done before the airbag even deploys. And even if it did deploy before impact, it will most likely only save you when going 30 or under and probably just save any road rash from occurring
It is supposed to fully deploy, meaning the bags will be fully inflated, 10 times faster than the blink of an eye. Even in the slowmo vids, it looks extreme fast.

If the area of the damage is your rib cage or back, this thing is supposed to have you fully protected.
