We move into meteorological spring tomorrow. I go with the weather version when it suits me. For example I think winter comes December 21st. But I definitely go with spring on March 1st.
Being in the know seems to be important. What about this? Motorcyclists can soon be safe thanks to airbag jeans. The picture is hilarious - it looks like someone in a fat suit. And I guess that's what it is.
"The garment is made from the strongest denim on the planet. Even more unique are the airbags that activate via small CO2 cartridges whenever the rider falls from their bike. The trigger mechanism is a tether connecting the jeans to the motorcycle. When the equivalent of a road accident occurs, the tether creates a puncture in the cartridges that inflates the airbags. If the rider is thrown from the bike, a protective air cushion is instantly deployed. Afterward, the CO2 cartridges are replaceable. While the airbag handles the impact forces, the single-layer denim fabric called ‘Armalith’ handles the abrasion forces, according to officials from the Swedish company Airbag Inside."
The story is here in the good news network. The product is airbag jeans. |
