I think so. It doesn't provide road-rash protection anymore than a car airbag provides protection from being crushed. The purpose it serves would be to protect your neck in a crash...cool. Can't say as though I'd wear this on the street (and I wear jeans, riding jacket, gloves, helmet etc. every time out), but for track days it might be a smart investment.
Actually I kind of agree with you... I can somewhat guess that its better for the neck and all but I really think they could improve a lot on that idea! I does look to soft as you said. Either way, its a great idea but it looks like it needs improvement!

AM I the only who thinks that doesnt look like it adds much protection at all. I mean it looks like it's way too soft and wouldnt protect anything.

Yes.

To me it looks good for your neck and possible shoulders, but surely some torso protection would be needed too...

So you're saying you wouldn't wear it? Ever broken a collar bone?

looks to me like it protects your neck and back, and stops your head from bouncing around too much...

And by "I think so", I meant "yes I think that you are the only one who thinks that" :-p

Yeah, I agree... you are the only one who thinks that... this would surely help a lot.
