Dainese D-Air Racing system, electronic controlled air bag system....

wonder what the price tag would be, and how much to recharge it after falling....

Problem is they can not be sold in the US at the moment due to US Liability laws (straight from the manufactures mouth)

There are 3 systems out there, RS-Taichi which currently uses a tether system, Dianese which is electronic and one other that is really popular in europe and I cant remember the name. All snap off very quickly to get back on the bike, but not sure how much the recharge cost is.
