I have just a few questions........how many times have you seen a rider in a race have a lowslide, run back to the bike, hop back on it and take off? Now, picture it if he has one of these things around his neck.....how is he going to remount with an inflated airbag around his neck?

For a prime example of this.....go watch Eugene Laverty in the last WSS race.

Count me as dubious on this idea.

That Spidi suit is stupid... I mean, the reason why Daniese and Alpinestars have not gone on the market is because the technology isn't perfect. There needs to be a better trigger. Spidi's trigger doesn't work, that "technology" has been around forever and its to basic. It might work great for riding around town, but it ain't gonna work on the track...
