Yeah, it is interesting....the reason, btw, you get bruised and beat up by the airbag is that you meet it going forward - it isn't sending you backwards.
Though, jesus, I dunno. People seem to either A) kind of tip it and slide around and get like an avulsion and a misplaced sense of invincibility or B) get just so effing effed up from so many mechanisms (person v. bike, bike v. pavement, abrasion on payment, launch followed by a fall from height, femurs on the handlebar, torsion injuries on the roll that there's no helping them that I'm not sure about the efficeacy of an airbag.
Maybe the inflatable jackets would help, I could see that, but in general riding an ambulance up on a motorcycle crash feels like rushing towards the Hindenburg with a socket set.
