They already make some Goldwings with Airbags on them. :crazy:

I never understood the Goldwing. Why not just drive a car?

That might actually help. According to the EMT training my son in law got in EMT school, most motorcycle deaths are caused by the driver bleeding out from breaking both thigh bones as they hit the handlebars, causing a compound fracture. So, maybe, a front airbag that kept the driver from hitting the handlebars might be more effective than anything else. Maybe.

Thank you BB. That makes an air bag a smart move on a bike. I think the idea of hitting an inflated air bag and falling off to the side of the big would hurt a lot less than destroying your legs.
Went over the bars of a dirt bike years ago. Managed to bend the bars with my hip without causing much injury but I wouldn't want to do it now with more years of wear and tear on an old body.
