Motorcycle Airbag protection is mandatory BRUCE ANSTEY ENROUTE for MOTO 2018 IN TO HIS 9TH TTGP VICTORY Mandatory for the RACE THE IOM TT SUPERSPORT Dakar & Rallying 2021 Professional riders are no longer given a choice about wearing Motorcycle Airbag protection; HOW LONG BEFORE YOU CHOOSE TO WEAR ONE? “Now that the technology is available, and it clearly works, I will never go out on my bike again without it” says Woolsey Coulter who has become a big supporter of the advanced protection given by motorcycle airbags.

“They offer so much better protection than traditional armour. We encourage everybody to wear them on our ART courses.”

They are mandatory for MOTO GP and Rallying because the FIM want you to go on watching the World’s top racing stars competing as safely as possible.

But they care about you as well… get one now!

Airbags dissipate the trauma of a crash very differently to Motorcycle armour, the way they hold and stabilize the neck during an accident is critical to the outcome. The Clinical team leader of the London Ambulance Motorcycle Paramedics said: “they offer far greater protection than standard jacket armour, they protect the thorax and spine from direct impact and support the base of the helmet preventing neck injury by limiting hyper flexion or hyper extension; this greatly reduces the risk of not only minor injury but life threatening injury also”.

Airbag protection for motorcyclists is gaining momentum as riders hear testimonials from colleagues: “‘The Airvest didn’t mitigate my injuries, it eliminated them. It saved my life without a doubt. Without it I would have suffered serious damage…or worse. Off to hospital, into trauma. CT scans, checks. Doctor looks a little baffled “you came off at 90mph? I’m pleased to say you haven’t broken anything.

You will be sore and bruised, but you’re ok to go.””
