At the right price, with 100% uptime, motorcycle airbags would be a monster hit product. I say that with confidence because as a motorcycle rider who is aware of the stats which tell me we risk death and serious injury 8X more than car drivers.
I want a motorcycle airbag - at the right price and conditions.
Who doesn't?
And why don't they exist?
What would be the cost to manufacture them at the rate of 500 million a year? That's the global market potential.
p.s. Do motorcycle airbags actually work to significantly prevent injury and death? If the answer is that they aren't particularly efficacious anyway, even when ideally implemented, I can understand why they scarcely exist in the market.

The fact that there's one bad product on the market doesn't mean that one can conclude that our system rewards bad products, per the GGP comment. > p.s.

If the answer is that they aren't particularly efficacious anyway, even when ideally implemented, I can understand why they scarcely exist in the market. Probably not! I think time will tell.
