I see no mention of seat belts here.Without seat belts I don't understand the physics of airbags on a bike.

The trick is to keep the rider from sailing over the handlebars when the bike hits the %$@#$^$# car that turns in front of them without looking. THink of it as a way to keep the motorcyclist off the drip rail of the car. Go watch Honda's videos and you'll see what they want to do.

The last time I T-boned a truck on a motorcycle, I avoided injury by standing on the pegs immediately before impact and being thrown *over* the vehicle.

Seemed intuitively obvious at the time.
