Nour Oct 28, 2009 5:12 AM GMT This is a suffocation hazzard. It's a device that shouldn't be allowed in the marketplace to begin with.

Ciccio Sep 28, 2009 4:08 AM GMT The Turtle airbag is not only not ridiculous. It's a great development in motorcycle safety gear. Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, both MotoGP riders and World Champions, have used this year leather suits with built-in airbags. This innovations is not only for Motorcycle Road-racing, it's also for the common rider. There are suits, jackets and vests with airbags. This is a great invention, so BW, just because you don't understand an invention, you can say it is ridiculous.
