When Dainese finally released a video of their D|air airbag system, I was annoyed that they never actually showed impact of the jacket against a hard surface. So when Moto2 rider Luis Salom had an incredible highside during practice at Silverstone this week, I was terrified for him, but glad to see the airbag system at work. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble embedding the video, so you’ll have the click the link below.
