Be it driving a car or a bike ride, speed excites everyone. But sometimes this speed also becomes the cause of accident. Although the auto sector had largely protected those traveling in cars with airbags, a bike rider was still deprived of it. But now there is no need to worry as now for the motorcycle savvy, a unique Motorcycle Airbag Jeans is coming, which can be worn like normal pants.
According to a research, the probability of death of a driver in accidents during bike driving is about 28% higher than that of a car driver. Anyway, balancing a two wheeler on the road is much more difficult than a car. This is the reason why it is very important for a motorcyclist to have good safety gears. Since the bike does not give you any cover from its body, for this you can use only high quality safety gear like helmet, jacket, neck gear, gloves, knee-cover etc.

Now a Swedish company is gearing up to launch the first commercially available motorcycle airbag jeans to hit the market to improve riding safety. It will be first introduced in the Swedish market. If all goes well, this airbag to be used by motorcyclists will also be launched this year.
The story of Motorcycle Airbag Jeans begins in 2016 when the firm first applied for a patent on the technology, after developing and creating the first commercially available motorcycle jeans on the market. From there the system was crash tested and approved in 2021 and has also received final approval before it is close to hitting the market in early 2022.
How Motorcycle Airbag Works:
This airbag is worn with jeans and the jeans are attached to the bike with a ribbon. If the driver falls off the motorcycle while driving, the airbag starts its operation immediately. During this, air is immediately filled in the airbag which completely covers the lower part of the body and this part of the body is completely protected. The airbag can then be deflated and refilled with gas and reused in driver jeans.

However, no information has been received about it yet when it will be introduced in the Indian market.
