Classic quote though:

One rider whose experience underlines the kind of injuries that motorcyclists can receive in accidents is 32-year-old Dineth Wijayarathna.

He was involved in a crash two years ago that left him seriously injured.

He said: “I was doing about 130mph (210km/h), the rear wheel suspension failed on my motorcycle and I came off, broke my pelvis in two places, broke my back and broke a few ribs.”

130mph and still alive! FFS!

oh arse, I hate this double forum option!

Unfortunately not ready yet – still very experimental but a great idea. airbag neck curtain on helmets is a good one as well – stabilise the neck in an accident.

If only he’d had an airbag.

Could you not wear a self inflating life jacket and attach the toggle to your handlebars?

Lol at IHN 🙂

apparently they were invented for horse riders.

he’d bounce down the road after inflation!

IHN imagine the toogle is not working you’ll have to blow in the top up pipe very quickly 😉
