Crash proof motorcycle?

Right. So, a sensor on the bike senses that the rider is a numpty.

The ejector seat kicks in, because the bike acts on self preservation, and kicks the numpty off.

Bring it on !!

wouldn't need no ejector seat either, just wheelstand that sucker right over, rider will bail! Also to be applied in cars? Turn stereo on full (some nice thrash/death metal) and set off a few airbags, they'll get out. If its a bogan car abba or something shite may need to be substituted for the metal though (and airbags are unlikely to be present).

In any case they are now getting to the level of technology (darpa challenge) that cars can drive themselves anyway, give it another 10 years they will likely have em driving better than a significant portion of human drivers, yet I reckon it will take another 30 or something ridiculous before they are actually allowed on roads.

Chick was actually looking in the direction of the truck when she okayed him to go.........perhaps she wanted to end their affair...........

Cameras and a computer detect possible dangers and warn you via a Heads Up Display... with interesting results. I found this on another forum and everyone there thought this was hilarious, but me, not so much

Gotta watch out for everything, just goes to show. You think it was real...? Or staged?

Good money being a test pilot for this company, pity they pay in monopoly money.

Looked real to me. If it was staged, they did a good job. Dude looked like he got pretty hammered

Yip, whatever safty measures you put in place, and whatever technology has to offer on the subject, safety always comes back to ones own personal judgement.

was it wrong to laugh though?
