This technology is available to the general riding public also.  I have been riding for a long time, have had a couple of accidents, and the older I get, I know the harder it will be to recover from the next accident, so I am seriously looking into the air bag jacket products made by a company out of Japan, called Hit-Air. Their stuff is distributed in the U.S by bikebone.com.  In my research, I found out that more and more police motor cops are wearing these things.  Also, the latest iteration of these types of jackets, at least the ones by Hit Air, are not too bad looking, and they are available in hot and cold weather formats.  I believe the acceptance and use of these air bag jackets is in the early stages and will eventually be as commonplace as full faced helmets.  Anybody out there FeejrLand have any experience with this technology?  One thing for certain, dear old Mom would worry a lot less about me being on a bike if had one.</p></blockquote><p></p>
