Airbag Jeans

Another addition to our growing collection of weird jeans:

Moses Shahrivar, who calls himself "The Artist Moses," has invented airbag jeans. From upi.com:

The jeans... are tethered to the rider's motorcycle, and when the tether is pulled airbags deploy up and down the wearer's legs to cushion an impact.

It seems similar in concept to the wearable airbags, designed to prevent the elderly if they fall, that we've posted about before.

The last time my pants exploded . . . no, that story is better left untold.

There are already air bag equipped motorcycle jackets in regular use. https://www.dsf.my/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Motorcycle_airbag-motorcycle-jacket-medium_2.jpg

@eddi Those sound more useful to me. You can survive a pair of broken legs even if the ambulance is delayed a little. A ruptured spleen or collapsed pair of lungs is more of an emergency.
