I’m just going with what I remember when they announced this back in the late ‘90s or early 00’s.
That model was a kind of parachute that yanked the rider off of the bike.
(I admit, I haven’t watched TV for a number of years, and was going with what they said in the original article -which wasn’t much)

That model was a spoof commercial on Saturday Night Live.

You might want to take a look at my #103 on this thread, especially the link the the video on the technology. It's really interesting.
These airbags are relatively thin bladders that inflate around, and protect, areas that tend to be damaged the most frequently in accidents.
