Dainese D-air® Racing airbag stunt test in Adria

By admin · Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009


Dainese is proud to present D-air® Racing, the revolutionary airbag which protects riders during circuit racing.
After more than 10 years of study and experiments, D-Tec® (Dainese Technology Center), the Dainese R&D department, introduced D-air® Racing during trials for the Grand Prix of Valencia 2007 in a totally active mode.
In fact during the 250 cc free-training in Valencia, the D-air® Racing has protected the Dainese rider Marco Simoncelli from the consequences of a bad high-side. In Valencia the D-air® Racing has been also integrated into the suits of 125 cc riders Simone Giorgi e Michael Ranseder: both of these two riders felt down and their D-air® Racing have been exploded protecting them safely.
This new rider protection technology has therefore entered the world of racing with a system which, thanks to the use of airbags, is able to protect the rider’s body in areas that conventional protections leave exposed: shoulders, collarbones and neck.
The tests performed at the D-Tec® laboratories, in fact, have proved that the system acts as a much better shock absorber than conventional composite protections, with which, D-air® uses in synergy in order to create a head-to-foot safety system.
The most revolutionary aspect of D-air® Racing is that the entire system is contained in a new and very special attachment on the rider’s shoulders and back which takes the place of the traditional “hump”.
D-air® Racing works totally independently from the motorcycle and triggers when the rider falls due to sliding of the front (front lowside) or rear (back lowside) wheel or in the event of a highside (the movie shows the initial tests conducted using a stuntman at Adria, ed.).

grazie al cazzo con la tutta,e tutto più facile,poi e scivolato,digli di prendere una macchina in pieno,poi ne riparliamo.

Bad acting, as bad …
Bad acting, as bad as OJ with the gloves

It looked to me …
It looked to me like the airbag hardly came into contact with the ground and where it did it was seriously deflated.
Looked like his body armour took 90% of the impact.

he wouldn’t have …
he wouldn’t have been hurt anyway even without those dam water wings

Who cares…how …
Who cares…how much would the hospital bill be?

well, Lorenzo got …
well, Lorenzo got to test his out today – it wasn’t one of his huge highsides, but it deployed, he walked away. As long as it isn’t that unobstrusive, it can only help. Looks a lot more comfy in a bad crash than a Leatt Brace.

thats retarded …
thats retarded simply retarded

Lorenzo and Rossi …
Lorenzo and Rossi were gonna wear them today but it started raining before the race so they didnt and Lorenzo crashed out ,would have been interesting to see it actually being used for the first time in moto gp

Use your head …
Use your head people!

I think this video is more so geared to show how/when it deploys.

In a place like the race track you don’t have as many concerns with hitting a solid object like a wall, tree or car. Instead you have concerns like highsiding at high speeds.

Scapula and Collar bone injuries are EXTREMELY common and that is what this would help with. As well as some back and neck injuries as well I’m guessing.

i know that! I …
i know that! I want one of those two strokers

because it costs money and is only usable once before it must be disposed

but its a good idea …
but its a good idea extra protection why not

i highly doubt they …
i highly doubt they want to try that at a higher speed, just incase is fails. I dont think they want to kill him

Its a Rs125 you mug.
Its a Rs125 you mug.

You guys are nuts.. …
You guys are nuts…GOing 30 kph and dumping your bike is not a true test of the effectiveness. That beach ball on your shoulders would cause you to bounce around mor eviolently

That was pretty …
That was pretty much useless in that situation..
