Crash Testing a Motorcycle Airbag Suit

**The Dainese Crash Test: Will Their Gear Save Your Life?**

Hey you hit my car didn't you no we're just moving the hoop because we want like the lighting down here better you hit it right no do you want to admit it what are you talking about. Well looks like in the process of getting this sweet bike over to our testing site the horn coming off the servo which is meant for an RC car uh Ben yeah that's fine all right Jerry she's looking good yeah now the most common motorcycle crash scenario is when you're riding down the street someone pulls out in front of you and you T-Bone them which is the exact scenario we're testing today. But we got to send this thing you got to stripe it right into the side of the car. The lake behind us has really made up the stakes during today's shoot there's a bunch of expensive cars over here to the right which we could potentially hit.

This is by far the most nervous I've been on to shoot really yeah I don't know why I'm so nervous okay well hey no pressure no promises yeah no we're gonna need you to do it. All right Joby send it. Bunch of expensive cars over here to the right which we could potentially hit shut it off dude this is my worst nightmare. It didn't go well I was standing here this morning saying if I could have any car in this parking lot it would be this one and of course um well he fell off like immediately and just pulled the bike hard right did the bags blow yeah did it.

Oh no let's try it one more time if it doesn't work this time we'll come up with a new game plan okay this time I'm going for the Mustang foreign baby yeah look at that save this guy's life oh dude here we go. Dude before it even gets in the car heck yes well okay that worked out better than the first time around yeah yeah. Another common crash scenario is when you're stopped on your bike at a red light and a car runs right into the back you so let's run that test but first let's see what happens to our dummy when he's not wearing an airbag jacket.

So Adam is going to be our driver when he runs the Previa into the back of the bike right here it can't go as bad as what I did I mean don't jinx it dude Adam you don't need to go that far back the Previa is tall enough I think it's gonna just run over the bike. Hold on is he going he is 100 dead he got smacked so hard oh oh no dude turn it off blur it blur it blur it okay now let's do it when he has a vest on. Uh well hold on hold on should we have a blast Shield uh two inch quick quick quick.

It did not run over the bike that's great smashed his ass all right he's drowning the suit might have saved her but now he's drowning come on buddy oh so now that we've seen both crashes can this suit save your life well let's take a look up first is the naked test as you can see the Previa makes short work of coal man his back crumples against the bumper which pulls the rest of him back then the back of his head smashes against the car meaning that If This Were a real guy he would be dead.

But if we look at the Dainese vest test you can see the airbag deploys and repels Coleman away from the Previa on top of protecting his torso the airbag system straightens his body and keeps his head from taking any serious hits on the car so Coleman would be really sore but probably alive. I think our best saved coal man yes that's very good thank you guys so much for watching this and everything else at donut follow us on donut media follow Zach and Zach Joe follow me at Jeremiah Burton and also thanks to Dainese for providing us with all of these bags so show them some love thank you.

And it's got something special inside it me oh do I have to do that

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the world's safest motorcycle jacket and it's got something special inside it me it also has an airbag that's right this thing's got an airbag inside that deploys when you get in an accident but how does it work and more importantly will it actually save your life well today we're crashing this motorcycle into the side of the Cabrio to find out quick quick quick oh no shut it off dude this is my worst nightmare this is my fully custom eight thousand dollar dianese race suit and inside of it is their d-air airbag technology inside the suit there are three gyroscopes three accelerometers and a GPS unit that can detect when you're about to crash inflating the bag before you hit the ground now this d-air technology has been developed with Moto GP riders in mind and those guys no thing or two when it comes to crashing this collarbon broke like I broke it like six times something like that yes this is a more fragile part and if without the Arabic there is nothing that protects the neck I crash many times without everybody I crashed in Reno the data after the crash said that I touched the ground at the 50k per hour I mean if you tell me now we take away the the hardback from your leather suit I said wow how do you know if I go but here's the thing tracks have runoff areas and ambulances on site in reality the majority of danger when you're riding isn't on the track but rather on the streets so what dynasia has done is take the same Tech from the racing suit and package it for Street Riders like in a vest which I have under my sweatshirt and also in a street jacket which is perfect for us because today we're going to put one of these on our test dummy and crash them into the side of our Cabrio but before we do that let's see how this jacket works with our lead donut dummy Jimmy I woke up with a sore throat today I said I shouldn't go into the office I'm here are you nervous yeah you gotta remember I love my job I love my job oh it feels like just just cardboard compressing you so we set these bags off with a controller but how does this jacket know not to inflate and go off prematurely like when you're getting tackled while wearing it in the office I'm not even wearing the jacket stupid if a jacket works by using an electronic control unit that detects and analyzes data from the accelerometers and gyroscopes at a thousand times per second it's looking at that data and running it through an algorithm that's been optimized with previous crash data and if the inputs being received past a certain threshold Boom the airbags deploy a dynaze has been working on this technology for 25 years so the algorithm it uses has loads of data from previous crashes and is getting updated all the time with new crash scenarios oh yeah the last suit I'll ever put on good relax job so the ECU has detected you're in a crash the airbag inflates to points four liters of argon gas which takes all of 45 milliseconds to put that in perspective it takes 150 milliseconds to Blink it's three times faster than blinking your eyes most airbags like the ones you might find on a car are made of a nylon woven material that gets inflated at about 1 20th of a second the problem with airbags and cars is that they're only really designed to cushion the impact of your head letting the car's other safety features like the seat belts and the crumple zones protect the rest of your body a squishy airbag can't protect you when you're flying off a motorcycle at 30 miles an hour that's why these bags have millions of microfilaments connecting the two ends of the bag these microfilaments keep the bag from deforming creating what dynaze calls a shield around your body now what sets these airbags apart from traditional protective gear is how much less Force gets transferred to your body during an impact so let's say for 50 joules of impact energy dionese's airbag reduces the transfer Force by 85 so of course that would normally break a bone now only bruises them got it so this bag seems pretty strong but I want to know how strong is it really all right so there are four chairs behind us Each of which has an airbag on it and only one of them is rigged blow so we're gonna play a little game of musical chairs and uh whoever gets unlucky is gonna apparently get lifted into the air I'm concerned of course okay so we know these bags are strong but can they save you in a real life motorcycle accident what we wanted to find out so we built a fully remote control pit bike a few weeks ago the plan was to test our RC system so in the day we could strap our dummy to the bike and steer it into the side of a car this would simulate a crash scenario that we're interested in but testing didn't go so well no can you tell how good I feel about this okay so last time we saw this bike we ran into a tire wall at 30 miles an hour so we got some damage to our frame right here so what we're going to do is try to pull the frame back out we got high truck and it's winch cable right here we got our changley support vehicle we're gonna pull it get that bend right on out and it'll be good as new now you smash the fender into the tire you freaking idiot oh that's good for an RC bike it's gonna get crashed again yeah then we made a beefier steering system with an improved motor and Joby re-welded our rear support bar with our RC Walmart motorcycle finished we're now ready to send our mini bike to motorcycle Heaven at our test site this is by far the most nervous I've been on a shoe hell no shut it
