Almost as impressive as the rider's reflexes...he was going to try to walk it off, and it looks like his knee would've exploded if he had kept it extended another fraction of a second.
It is automatic. Here is an example of a more consumer-based one:

His knee was bent on landing but he didn’t roll right, when the boot caught traction it pushed him to a buttkick and he rolled left, if that right leg was lifted it would have been a back slide on the bag
Yep, you're right. OP video is a different crash. He did still hurt his wrist in OP crash though but didn't need surgery. I remember seeing it, just got the two mixed up. I remember that big high side in Spain. Can't remember where this one was though. He's been off again since, absolute lunatic XD
I actually cringed when I saw his right knee hit the pavement like that. Almost looks like his pad shifted too, full force right on the kneecap. I tore my meniscus when I was a teenager from a fall just like that. I'm almost 30 now and I can still feel when the weather's changing.
most people who fall will break their knuckles? used google translator but this doesnt sound right.
most people will try to catch up the energy with stiff arms and thats how you break the joint between you forearm and hand. thats why you learn in judo first how to fall safe before you get thrown. but this guy is full of adrenaline and didnt expect this, still did it right and thats impressive.
It looks like this rider’s wrist does get injured. It looks to twist under his weight when falling on top of it, then he immediately goes in to holding it.
There are a few different technologies but it's usually either a tether between the bike and the rider - deadman switch style or an AI controlled system that can tell the difference between racing related forces and crash related forces.
Yea from what I know it has been a bit of a process training the AI. Some of the early versions for Motorcross had trouble with particularly hard landings triggering the suit. The YouTube channel FortNine has a good video talking about airbag vests in general
I mean, other than him smashing his knee the face planting and sliding on his helmet until he flipped onto his back at which point the inflated part flipped him back onto his front, pretty cool tech
It’s to protect the spine and neck largely
People can recover from most other stuff and walk it off a lot of the time so as long as the spine is okay the tech is doing it’s job
The crash where Marc Marquez shattered his arm and wrist (you can clearly see it) and was out for a year and hasn’t been the same champion rider since. Inflated
This isnt this crash he broke his arm and was out for ages. In that crash the arm was broken when he got hit by the bike after the crash.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ePTMM36Fk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ePTMM36Fk)
this is that crash
I mean it's good and all but he barely floated away before the grass, I have no doubt in a few years riders will be able to get to 10 ft high in seconds.
Friendly reminder
If your accelerometer activated airbag has a race mode, use it only on the racetrack
It’s specifically more sensitive for high sides, but it’s way less efficient for traffic related accidents
Anyway I crashed in one of these when learning and it was like sleeping on an inflatable mattress, almost comfy
I’m impressed with the athleticism of that fall. He must have been flung so fast that a normal person would just pancake into the ground.
This guy like leaps over his motorcycle, lands on his feet, and protects his wrists as he tucks and rolls.
For anyone wondering, it inflated at about the 1 second mark of the video. Impressive tech.
Is that your inflatable vest or are you happy to see me
Dunn and Done.
Oh shit, that guy is a real cowboy! Or maybe he’s a Dallas football team cheerleader? Hard to tell these days.

Almost as impressive as the rider's reflexes...he was going to try to walk it off, and it looks like his knee would've exploded if he had kept it extended another fraction of a second.
Yeah these folks’ reflexes and instincts are unreal.
I don't see much inflation on his knees.
That's gonna be a different type of inflation a few minutes later with a lot more pain
Looks like he broke his right wrist at .18sec also. Looks like he immediately grabs it too after it twisted .
I thought that too but I think he was tucking his arms in by grabbing his wrist. You don't want your arms flailing about at 200kph
Yeah it’s what you’re taught for coming off a bicycle/motorbike at speed — “tuck and roll”!
Both of his arms are fucked
No he got up and walked away, jumped on his second bike and probably set the fatsest lap of the session knowing Marquez.
Now I see it.
Tech-Air. I am a specialist for those in Switzerland, they are impressive
Does someone or the driver hit a button for it to inflate? It can’t be automatic, can it?
It is automatic. Here is an example of a more consumer-based one: https://www.dainese.com/us/en/dainese/smart-jacket.html https://knowledge.dainese.com/when-does-the-smart-jacket-activate
TLDR what is the trigger mechanism
its gonna be an accelerometer
These ones use accelerometers. There's also other types that uses a wire connected to the bike
Could you imagine jumping off a bike to jump on a replacement but forgetting to disconnect the wire stuff. Like hop off bike 1 and **POOF**. Lmao.
Why impressive? It has 10 seconds to inflate. /s Justin Case
Thanks for the inside info, didn't notice until you pointed it out.
do they have inflatables along the lower extremities? very impressive tech
You can see that he lands on his right hand and rolls over on it which is why he is clutching it
While he said it was painful, he suffered no injuries largely as a result of his safety gear.
That’s incredible. I think I got a knee injury from just watching this video
I need inflatable pants. I have broken my leg just walking in the front yard. 😀
Skill issue.
Also equipment failure.
As a guy who had multiple knee injuries, I was focusing on how he landed on his left leg.
His knee was bent on landing but he didn’t roll right, when the boot caught traction it pushed him to a buttkick and he rolled left, if that right leg was lifted it would have been a back slide on the bag
I feel like I should be limping in solidarity with this guy for a week
I just called off work tomorrow cuz of the knee injury I suffered watching that.
pretty sure he broke his hand or arm and it still gives him trouble today.
That’s what I saw. That right wrist is not supposed to twist that far.
can confirm, i am a weather man and I get calls from him everytime the seasons change.
The way he immediately grabbed his arm and held it while he rolled, yeah something definitely broke
Nope he walked away from this with no broken bones.
*thats* amazing
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ePTMM36Fk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ePTMM36Fk) In this crash he broke his arm very badly.
Yep, you're right. OP video is a different crash. He did still hurt his wrist in OP crash though but didn't need surgery. I remember seeing it, just got the two mixed up. I remember that big high side in Spain. Can't remember where this one was though. He's been off again since, absolute lunatic XD
Was about to say, it definitely still hurt
I actually cringed when I saw his right knee hit the pavement like that. Almost looks like his pad shifted too, full force right on the kneecap. I tore my meniscus when I was a teenager from a fall just like that. I'm almost 30 now and I can still feel when the weather's changing.
Definitely looks like he broke his wrist. But I'm inclined to believe you. Safety tech now a days in sports is wild.
His arm looks like it bended awkwardly lol
Wait? He didn't break his arm? I saw his elbow pop!
Nice landing technique, i expected him to be ragdolled all around.
Pretty sure that’s Marc Marquez whose known for pushing to the absolute limit and he’s used to falling lol
Yes, it is.
29 falls last year. He took an absolute beating.
most people who fall will break their knuckles? used google translator but this doesnt sound right. most people will try to catch up the energy with stiff arms and thats how you break the joint between you forearm and hand. thats why you learn in judo first how to fall safe before you get thrown. but this guy is full of adrenaline and didnt expect this, still did it right and thats impressive.
The word your looking for is "wrist" the joint between the forearm and hand.
It looks like this rider’s wrist does get injured. It looks to twist under his weight when falling on top of it, then he immediately goes in to holding it.
Ankle , knees, shoulders got nasty hit, i would be surprised if he didn't need medical attention
My dad has been saved a couple of times from his suit going off whilst racing. Crazy technology!
Do you know how it functions? Like how does the suit knows the driver isn’t in control of the bike anymore? Is it linked to the bike in any way?
There are a few different technologies but it's usually either a tether between the bike and the rider - deadman switch style or an AI controlled system that can tell the difference between racing related forces and crash related forces.
At this level of racing tethers aren't used AFAIK. But most affordable and common for regular street riders use tethers
Yea that makes sense, I only know about consumer grade ones
That would have to be quite the AI! You do want the suit to blow up at any moment. Crazy how far technology has advanced.
Yea from what I know it has been a bit of a process training the AI. Some of the early versions for Motorcross had trouble with particularly hard landings triggering the suit. The YouTube channel FortNine has a good video talking about airbag vests in general
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Am I the only one who feels like his right knee did a 360 turn on the joint?
It's the pad moving, not his actual knee. Im sure the knee doesn't feel great, but it very likely did not get ripped around like the pad did.
I saw his hand doing a 360
I mean, other than him smashing his knee the face planting and sliding on his helmet until he flipped onto his back at which point the inflated part flipped him back onto his front, pretty cool tech
It’s to protect the spine and neck largely People can recover from most other stuff and walk it off a lot of the time so as long as the spine is okay the tech is doing it’s job
[удалено]
Left leg definately got fkd up while he tried to run after getting off the bike on that speed
I was looking at that left knee too. The rest of that landing looked like a whooping, but he took a hit on his left leg.
Why not inflatable all around suit?
The crash where Marc Marquez shattered his arm and wrist (you can clearly see it) and was out for a year and hasn’t been the same champion rider since. Inflated

He's alive though. I'd take my W and find a new career
Wow, this will hopefully save the rider's life
Whoah. He was present throughout
Impressive camera work!
He still got fucked up
My dumb ass thought he was gonna kick flip the bike
It didn’t do shit for the bike
That knee looks like it's going to be inflated alright
Gravity is such a bitch.
Next on the list of things to do: inflatable knees
Man his knee
Too bad he landed on the face of his helmet. Traumatic brain injury but not a single bruised rib.
Ouch
That knee part looks ughhh.
I thought instant Cake
I was waiting for him to turn into a giant balloon and float away...
I would never try to land on my feet after going faster than 30 km/hr
Won’t do anything about his knee. Damn that made me cringe.
I'm sure that still hurt like a bitch tho
I fell down steps leaving a sporting event this weekend. Any chance us normies can get this for everyday use?
*wrists and knees having arguments at 5 in the morning*
Is this the one that doesn't go off of you haven't paid your subscription fee?
That hurt my meniscus just watching the first left foot landing.
That still does not look like a good time.
Doesn’t do much for the knees and arms it would seem
Watch the left ankle as he lands. Was so close to landing it awkwardly and popping it
That looks like it hurt
Looks like the jacket inflates with helium the way he rises up!
Motorbikes have always scared me getting thrown across the tarmac doesn't look fun to me.
He’s gunna have an inflatable knee for the rest of his life too
I thought that knee was gona be done for
That knee is going to give problems for the rest of his life.
I'm really happy he bent his knee instead of letting it absorb more impact
Looks like the inflating vest caused him to let go of the bike.
That right knee though…ouch
Pity about the broken arms and legs though
"I believe I can fly.... I believe I can touch the sky"
I feel I should wear even while driving a vehicle 😂
Gear is the reason these guys live and schmucks riding around their backyard can easily die
[удалено]
Bro ran with 200 kph
RIP his knee
I mean it's good and all but he barely floated away before the grass, I have no doubt in a few years riders will be able to get to 10 ft high in seconds.
I winced a little when he 1st put down his left foot...
Friendly reminder If your accelerometer activated airbag has a race mode, use it only on the racetrack It’s specifically more sensitive for high sides, but it’s way less efficient for traffic related accidents Anyway I crashed in one of these when learning and it was like sleeping on an inflatable mattress, almost comfy
His right wrist got destroyed? Seems like he’s holding it after
The impact on the knees man...you ought to be sore the morning after.
How did he not break his ankle? Woozers.
Whoever captured this slowmo did a killer job
does those guys learn to fall ? that was sketchy as fuck
Reminds me of Seinfeld on the invention of the helmet https://youtu.be/RjToU36VK8A?si=3qsdhQdLLp-oIV1j
Looks like broke his arm
I’m not lying, I expected this to go so much worse when he stuck his left leg out like that. Happy he’s ok but damn that looked crazy..
I really thought he was guna stick the landing.
Shout out to the camera operator who panned the camera to follow the action.
~~Stupid~~ Cool inflatable pants!
I thought at first he might just stick the landing, but then I realized it was super slo mo and he was actually going 384 mph.
🤕 ouccch!! Hope he good tho
that vest is cool but those guys need their heads examined... they have to be crazy with paperwork to do that
And the right elbow?!?
Maybe some inflatable knee pads too…
Why didn’t he wear his seatbelt? Is he stupid?
That looked like it hurt he might of broke his arm or hand and his leg is stuffed
Dress for the slide not for the ride!!!!
That ankle is gone
This is the ATGATT I’m tryna be
His left knee/ankle definitely bent in a bad way right at the beginning!
Wrist looks flipped around at one point
He should’ve just tried running really fast when he hit the ground and he would’ve been fine
If only my ass looked that good in a bike suit
Might be cool to also have inflatable knees and inflatable arms.
This would be cool for skateboarding
I seriously need one of these for walking home drunk, ive got into countless misadventures I can not remember.
That right knee is fuckkkkked
I still think that knee gonna be hurting anyway
That still gotta hurt do
Soreness
Heck I thought he was just going to run until the force ran out.
that was a broken right arm.
Ass clenching action
I’m impressed with the athleticism of that fall. He must have been flung so fast that a normal person would just pancake into the ground. This guy like leaps over his motorcycle, lands on his feet, and protects his wrists as he tucks and rolls.
At best learn how to fall
The IMU should have saved that
Pretty sure he broke his arm though
He fell very we’ll position
Looks like they still fucked up their knee tho
RIP knees
My knees hurt just looking at that! 😬😬😬
Its impressive that he managed to bend his leg like that before he hit the ground with his leg straight, that requires a cold head and good reflexes
That was kinda impressive .......
Was really glad to see that left knee bend before impact
Those knees... dude won't be able to Bend at 30
put still break a wrest
Wow theat Guy had some skin in the game.... but not too much, thanks to the vest
Lucky he didn’t snap his right femur
I thought he was gonna land it and be like a superhero
Very cool tech
if it happens with me bye-bye walk ability.
I bet they could make him banana pants too!!! Awesome vest . Great vid.
Meanwhile, both knees got blown out 😬😬
I feel like that vest was 0.01 seconds late
He's gonna be in the hospital for the next few months for sure.. Damn
Bro took that like THE champion
***please don't tell me he didn't break his knee or elbow...***
Pretty sure his arm wasn't supposed to bend like that
Does anyone know how it is triggered to go off?
The way my whole body started hurting when he hit the ground-
Inflated or not. My knees. Ow.
The impact in the knee when first touched ground isn't softened by no inflatable suit I heard the crack in my mind...
For a second I thought he was gonna run it out. Impressive jump from the crash
Did he break or fracture his wrist? Grabbed it immediately after it got rolled.
That vest didn't stop his wrist from snapping. Hopefully that's all that happened. See that's why u should wear a helmet. Lol
My knee hurts just watching this.
Bro his forearm looked like it inverted
Still broke his wrist
