Airbag jackets? Your thoughts? (now other gear questions)

sorry, I dont have time to draw you a picture today.

Dont embarrass yourself... centripetal force isnt going to accelerate the rider as he's ejected off of the bike. Newton's 1st law.

newtons first law would only apply if the rider separated from the motorcycle before the accident.
even if the force exhibited by the motorcycle/wreck is brief, it is still an "unbalanced force" to put it in netwons terms and will affect the rider's trajectory
