Use the same tech as on Mac books. The accelerometers detect the fall and shut down the hard drive before the computer can hit the ground. Do the same thing for the airbag…

Sorta like a GM car.

Admire the stylishness of that Fooosh! sound.

Airbags on a bike may not be the best technological development ever. Jarvis seems more disaffected than ever before, IMO.

Fooosh denotes deflating…methinks, my whoopeee cushion make the same sound, almost

It. Is. A. Comic. Strip.

Bike helmet airbags exist:.http://www.hovding.com/how_hovding_works/

I’ll bet Jarvis is chuckling inside.

First, the water bottle on the silver platter. The kid in the pantalon embarrassantes. Then WHAM! and FOOSH!… Can Meddick top this on Saturday? I don’t think so.

I’m sure “wheels” in Washington are spinning writing the new standard requiring air bags for bicycles. I remember when we all rode without helmets, and we managed to get along quite nicely, thank you!

It DOES help to have padding when you fall. I can remember when I rode a bike to and from work (even in winter when the side streets had ruts in snow that was not plowed. I was glad to be wearing a quilted coat. I’m glad helmets were not yet then (a hat or scarf can be warmer).

pride before the fall

Poor kid! How the 1% must suffer at times…
