Yamaha’s Crotch Air Bag  

This is just too darn funny to not print. Yamaha has perfected an air bag that doesn’t protect your big brain, but rather a guys little brain. As you can see from the photo the air bag is located right at the gonad level to keep your Doritos from getting crushed.

Sure you might die from a head injury, but at least your gonads will be ok. It’s a little known fact that more men die from testicular injures in a motorcycle crash than from head injuries. Not! Frighteningly, if the air bag is up to US standards it has to inflate in 1/30th of a second and can deploy at speeds reaching 200mph.Yamaha’s prototype isn’t quite the first motorcycle airbag, but the first motorcycle airbag for your, er, tender nuggets.

Their advanced safety scooter, designated the ASV-3, has a multi-chambered air bag rigged between your legs, under the seat, to open in the case of a crash, thus protecting your most prized possessions. We’re just glad to see that somebody is working to solve the “crotch + 60 mph + handlebars = pain” equation. Go go Japan!
