SPIDI the motorcycle gear manufacturer recently took a step forward in rider safety with an inflatable neck protection vest.
The safety vest inflates in a claimed 0.2 seconds, to form a cushion around the neck of the rider and reducing the impact and injury. The vest is reusable as CO2 can be refilled in it. This vest can be worn over a regular biker jacket and comes in bright colours as well to increase visibility.
SPIDI evolves the DPS system by making it more usable, light and efficient. A double cushion will wrap around the users neck area thus increasing the level of safety for such a sensible area in case of crash. The system will work along the helmet to reduce potentially damaging neck movements all while also increasing the tendency to roll on the ground and thus limiting potentially dangerous leverage situations against the terrains surface.
