torso protection in a crash. (Alpinestars)
Though some motorcyclists wear little more
than swimsuits, most try to temper their
desire for two-wheeled exhilaration with a
dose of self-regard.
Alpinestars, the cycle-sports outerwear
company, seems to have scored one for the
safety-minded. The company – with offices in
northern Italy, Los Angeles and Tokyo – has
developed an airbag system that cushions
riders’ torsos in case of a crash.
