Expensive, but kind of curious how they’d work in a kick boxing match. Either as protection or the goal is to hit the opponent’s target hard enough to make his bags deploy.
Looks really impractical. Landing on these would likely contort your body during the fall. Without a comparable airbag by the shoulders, my guess is this would cause the rider’s head and neck to take more of the impact. What scenario would this be helpful for?
