Air Jackets our future ?
Are Air Jackets in our future by government regulation ?
The "Hit Air" jacket incorporates an air cushion system. In the event of an accident and a rider is thrown from the motorcycle, the air cushion instantly inflates (within 0.25 second or less) to protect the rider's body.

Pretty kewl .. but didn't the wacko that killed the corvair, can't remember his name, want similar uniformity for all riders.
He wanted yellow leather rider suits, helmets and tattoo's identifying you as a rider.
His name just came to me. George Nader.
His first name was Ralph 📞

It's a tossup for who will win - the nannies that want us in bubble wrap from head to toe, or the nannies that think bikes are too dangerous to be on the road, and trikes have to be fully enclosed...
I've had one of these for several years. Mine is a high viz yellow. I wear it whenever I ride, even on the trike. My biggest fear is forgetting to unhook the lanyard when I get off to get gas and then be the laughing stock at the gas station. Mine's gone off once. I was on a dual sport bike and had to come to a stop on a steep rocky road. The road was very uneven and I had no place to put my foot down. Just before I hit the ground it pulled the trigger and inflated. I felt like I was being squeezed by an Anaconda but it effectively covered my lower tail bone, ribs, back, chest and back of neck before I hit the ground. I fell on large rocks and didn't feel a thing. It comes with a tool to reset the inflation mechanism and I had bought extra inflation cartridges so I was quickly protected again.
Ive said this many times before.....If Motorcycles never existed and were just invented last week , They would be outlawed this week....It's a tossup for who will win - the nannies that want us in bubble wrap from head to toe, or the nannies that think bikes are too dangerous to be on the road, and trikes have to be fully enclosed...
The people that don't /can't do anything , Don't want the people that can do to have fun..

Where do you get one of these, I've never heard of them before.

It’s an age thing. Lol. My long term memory is great, but if it wasn’t for my phone telling me that it is time to stand or breathe I would be in trouble. What was I talking about? Jim

Hit Air - http://www.air-vest.com/category/MotorcycleVest.htm
Helite - http://helitemoto.com/
The Helite is quite a bit more expense than the Hit Air (about twice as much I think). I find the Hit Air to be very comfortable, easy to wear and lightweight. Easy to put on and take off.
Yea, That jacket would work for me, I have a plug in electric jacket for long rides- only, And i cant tell you how many times when i dismounted for gas or coffee i forgot to unplug it.....If i had the air jacket i would also need to carry a 1/2 dozen extra inflation cartridges.......-

It takes a pretty good tug, but if you didn't feel it pulling before you put weight into it, it would engage. I've dismounted several times and felt the "tug". Just something else to remember, which is what we all need as we get older and more forgetful.Yea, That jacket would work for me, I have a plug in electric jacket for long rides- only, And i cant tell you how many times when i dismounted for gas of coffee i forgot to unplug it.....If i had the air jacket i would also need to carry a 1/2 dozen extra inflation cartridges.......
