good idea though you would think the action would be to fold the rider in half causing their head to smash into the steering head. great if you have an open face helmet....

the gold wing has it as an option this year too.

But at least your balls are fine.

i wonder if the inertia in an accident would just make it more of a catapult then an airbag.

not like I'd be getting any leg-over if my face was all smashed up.
