High Impact: Impact Jackets (a.k.a. Wearable Airbags) Finally Make It to the US, and Are Immediately "Tested"
Gizmodo: "Impact Jackets, originally designed to save Japanese construction workers from long falls by inflating prior to impact, have finally made it to the United States. Only instead of construction workers, it's our motorcyclists that seem to be reaping the benefits. And it didn't take too long to see some results."

This is another great example of technology helping save people from injury in ways unimaginable. hopefully, people won't take these and use them as a justification for doing dangerous stuff, but still, people who want to ride motorcycles or other activities (a friend who broke his leg on an atv comes to mind) that are inherently dangerous could definately benefit.
