Just doing some Sunday morning browsing around, saw this thought I'd jump back in on it if only to share the experience.
I've crashed a few times now with my airbag, but in March I got tangled with another racer leaving a corner, 3rd gear full throttle. I was pushed off the track and bailed off the bike before hitting a berm that surrounds the track... by far my most violent crash. The bike did a couple flips at least, and I spent a fair amount of time sliding on the back of my head/neck, head first, legs above me. Some part of me finally dug in and started me tumbling for a while... I finally stopped after meeting the base of the berm! I'm guessing the excursion was about 80m, and I was tumbling/sliding for around 30-35m, hitting the ground well over 100km/h
I came out of this with a sore neck and back (probably from sliding crumpled up) and a torn calf muscle. Nothing else. I'm 100% convinced I broke no bones and no major injuries thanks to the Techair airbag. I can't even recall the feeling of colliding with the planet!!!!!
If anyone is questioning whether or not the airbags work, they do, I tested it for ya!!!!
