So what happens when you turn into a balloon and get struck by a truck?

The cord connecting them to the motorcycle seat disconnects, the electrical voltage plummets, and the electronic circuit processor inside the belt buckle housing of each occupant connects the 9 volt battery to an electric igniter in the back housing of their respective suits.

Better yet, what happens when you forget to turn it off when you dismount the motorcycle, and the cord disconnects?

That would make for a very interesting gas stop.

I think I'd rather skid along the ground on leathers then roll 100 yards in a giant bowling ball, playing pinball in traffic.

The animated dude in the vid has no gloves on. Squid.

I cant get past imagining myself flying down the road in that, fully inflated with no idea what i am about to hit- my neck is all tense just thinking about that. At least sliding I can see whats coming, the blind part would freak me out.

I'd be too tempted to jump out a window or head to the top of a chairlift and pull the cord.

I've always wondered what it felt like to be on the inside of a basketball.
