That doesn't seem like it would really make a difference for a track day. Most injuries are compression of the limbs with the more serious being head injuries.
I just can't see it adding much value on the street either. I'm sure it could save you some bruises or maybe broken ribs but I doubt it would do anything from the crushing injuries that are common with guardrails and the like. It's definitely not going to stop your internal organs from bouncing about inside your chest cavity.
How much is a "refill" after you get off the motorcycle with the lanyard still attached?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
