The Safety Sphere: The Future of Motorcycle Airbag Suits [Video]
by Dan Evon Tags
Motorcycle airbag suits are already on the market, but frankly, they don't come close to the awesomeness of the safety sphere. This futuristic concept literally turns you into one giant rolling orange ball of safety.
And although it's only a concept at the moment, Rejean neron is trying to get funds to put it into production.
According to Neron, the Safety Sphere inflates to a man-sized sphere in five hundredths of a second.
"The outer layer is made up of a highly resistant parachute type material," said Neron. "The inner layer is made up of a thin, moderately elastic synthetic material. In a collision situation, the passengers are thrown from the motorcycle, the cord connecting them to the motorcycle seat disconnects, the electrical voltage plummets, and the electronic circuit processor inside the belt buckle housing of each occupant connects the 9 volt battery to an electric igniter in the back housing of their respective suits."
Here's a look at the future of motorcycle safety. This is the Safety Sphere.
Would you buy a safety sphere if they ever hit the market?
