Not sure if you okes watched the MotoGP racing today.  ;D

During the 125 cc race a rider came down and the new airbags deployed protecting his neck and collarbone from injuries.

This device looks like a massive travelling pillow that inflates the moment bike and rider is separated.

I guess we won't be seeing riders that fell off, hopping back onto their bikes and continue racing - the air resistance will put them right out of contention.  ;)
