    An air bag in your leathers?

    Not sure if this is a repost or not, but it's the first I've seen of it. apparently it has been enhanced quite a bit, lot of info online. Rossi will be wearing it this weekend for the first time.

    actually, this shows the newer versions. apparently, after it deploys it will deflate in 10 seconds so you can get back on the bike. the new version is all contained in the suit.

    Thats pretty nice! no teathers or anything connected to the bike.

    Here is an actual crash test video... Crash Test Video

    EDIT: this may be an older video but it says 2010??

    Discovery HD has a special about Isle of Man and they were showing some footage on the Dianese suit. Definitely really cool stuff.
