I could have sworn I've seen a prototype of something very similar to this for motorcycle racers years ago... EDIT: A quick Googling comes up with a whole suit system by Alpinestars, reported on 2 years ago, and another airbag system made by Dainese from 4-5 years ago, which I think is what I saw. I always wondered if these ever made it into the mainstream, or if they were too expensive or were otherwise unavailable/undesirable for the average motorcyclist.
