This looks interesting...

APC helmets - Primer casco con AIRBAG. Seguridad y tecnología

Comments:
1.) It looks like it may make it difficult to turn your head side to side with the bulky air bag attachment. Maybe not.
2.) Although it states "distributed worldwide", I don't see a US distributor.

Otherwise, looks intriging. Mandatory for new riders, under 21, for up to 1 year?

Oh Man, not sure what to make of it

It's a cool concept, and would offer some protection, but one has to wonder what the long-term experience would be ...

Should we add it to the Web Links?

The long term experience is....

Your neck isn't stiff and your back and spine is intact but you ass is still busted up and you can lay, in traction, in the hospital in a more mnatural position, and/or the embalmer has an easier job and it can be open casket with your head exposed for view (only).

I guess the obvious next step is a full Air Bag Suit!

Picture blowing up like the Michelin Man, bouncing off the offending vehicle, then richocheting down the street, off other cars, etc.

Maybe a 50% Helium fill?

Could be fun. Remember, I thought of it first!

Sidecar - you've had an actual "in casket" experience?.... will this evolve into a Zombie thread?

Dainese already has one.

That is cool.

Now that the weather is closer to actual summer temps, we'd have to see who is willing to wear that gear around here - or find work in Europe
