As a trauma nurse, I have seen these used and was totally blown away at how well they work. We have a race track near us and received a few of the racers that wrecked at 150mph plus. And when we hear those numbers we expected a mangled mess. Nope, the guys were overall really safe and healthy. Amazing tech
Thank you for what you do. 4 weeks ago I crashed on track (no airbag unfortunately) and the trauma team was awesome. Worst
of it was seven broken ribs and partially collapsed lung along with numerous less serious injuries. Edit: typos. Still one-handed.
I’ve felt a little bit flat with donut recently, but now I realise they’ve been thinking and creating in the background, to give us some of the best content we have seen 💚
Thank you, and sorry for any stream of doubt in my mind 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Airbag jackets are the only reason I decided to finally ride a motorcycle. Its a level of safety that I wouldn't ride without.
This is the best review on here!
In your experience what type works best? Like coverage or brand name
Future set up tip - if you've got a fence at one end of the compound and expensive cars at the other, aim your tests at the fence.
thats coward talk
You think they put more than the bare minimum thought into their videos? Lol
@@theend1555 a shroud avatar talkin trash😂
But the content bro...
Common sense isn't so common.
Dude just casually including MOTOGP RIDER INTERVIEWS is such a flex
Were they all Dainese riders? That would explain it, still cool to interview, sad shame that if they were all Dainese riders that they were maybe just slightly exaggerating the difference Dainese airbag vests make.
@@MotoDash1100 No. all motogp riders use airbags. Doesn’t matter who makes their suits, whether it’s Dainese, Alpinestars or anyone else.
Let’s make this the top comment
The riders in the interview do wear Dianese.
@@gravitydotkom alpinestars is also based in italy (at Asolo to be precise)
Man I wish these were out like 10 years ago. A good friend of mine was driving his homemade motorcycle down a rural road, an older woman was coming the opposite way, and turned left into her driveway right in front of him. Said she didn't see his headlights or hear his horn, nor see him waving to get her attention, and turned anyway, with no signal light. He hit the side of her car, and passed away on the scene.
He was huge on safety, and would even go out with flourescent paint to mark out ruts and potholes in the roads for other motorcycle riders to prevent accidents.
He also built many motorcycles in his barn at home, many of which won awards at multiple shows. He loved to use brass where possible which added a nice touch to his creations. He was also the kind of guy who would drop everything he was doing to help anyone with anything, no matter how big or small, and would never ask for a thing in return. He used to come to all the parties in high school, and stay sober, to make sure nobody drove home wasted, and would use his own gas to drive anyone home who needed a ride, and even pick you up the next day to bring you to your car so nobody was ever stuck. Truly amazing person. He was a shorter spitting image of Chuck Liddell, absolutely jacked lol.
RIP Dustin "D-Train". You are missed every single day. I'm convinced these vests would have saved his life.
Wow. How sad and unfortunate, sounds like an amazing dude! People are soooo...🤦 What happened with the blind lady? Did she get charged?
I have already accidentally tested the product at 100km/hr. It saved my life
Now you gotta do it again without the vest to see if it really did though!
😊good to still have you here
Details of what happened would be nice.
Me too. Hope you are okay!
@@sienile he wrecked and the airbag saved him, youre welcome
I'm most surprised by the rear impact test results, that just shows the true reaction time of the product
That was my thoughts exactly like keeping his head from smashing into the car while wearing the suit 🤔. That’s pretty wild. I can see why the moto GP people want the suit on no matter what. Even if their crashes are a little different lol
You might still lose your legs, but youre alive 😉
You'd still get sever damage if not death .
@@leodjondo3489 true but very greatly ups your odds of at least surviving.
@@jodysales2362 yes! And it will get better with time
Jeremiah: I hope this sketchy bike doesn't crash into these expensive cars.
Bike: Veers right into a BMW M5
Really? Is that what happened genius?
That HAD TO be planned...
It was the Dummy getting revenge on them for getting slammed way too much
Mythbusters vibe 😏
Nice effort on the two dudes that didn't try and stop it worthless
The yellow progress bar during their ads is what really sets donut apart from every other contact creator.❤
Corridor Digital has a timer for theirs.
uMM, aCtuALlY... 🤓
y0U mEaNt t0 sAy coNTeNt, n0T cONtaCt!
Yea since early donut
@@baconbenjidestroyer never seen one of donuts ads. Never will.
Crashed at 35 mph 4 days ago, watching this with 24 stitches in my left knee in bed for 5 weeks. Person slammed on the brakes with a football field in front of them as I was shoulder checking. Then not even fully looked black and “I’m the in the air right now this not good” did a front flip. I had full gear. Gauntlet gloves. Race boots. And a zip together Tex jacket and pants. All Dainese. I broke my femur and had surgery on it and have screws now. Titanium ones 👀. And a compression fracture on my l1 vertebrae. I’m buying an air bag one piece leather and wearing it every time I go ride after I recover. I have a nice one piece with no airbag. But this just confirmed my wanting of a one piece airbag. Can’t imagine if I was in my squid days 8 years ago with just that stupid icon back protector. Great Video!
The driver getting out and yelling I’m so sorry I didn’t see him was the realest thing in this video 😅😂
"I was on my phone" really added to it 😭
Same
This whole episode is pure chaos and I love it
This episode has a strong MythBusters energy, like I've never seen anywhere on RUclips before.
I have a Helite Turtle2. It offers a lot more coverage and better protection across your entire torso, starting from neck immobilization all the way down to your pelvic girdle. Its also user reloadable.
Its what I recommend as I want as much protection as possible, but if one doesnt like the style, at least get an airbag of some sort.
yeah it's better for normal people than any alpine or dainese stuff. those are to expensive and don't offer that much more protection. it's more just a fancy brand really.
@@rampage3337 unless you're a rich ducatista to thinks they're some sort of street rossi you get the helite. The only time I've seen the dainese stuff out in the wild was when I was on my local mountain and two Ari Henning look alikes on brand new red panigales. Those are among the best looking of all time in my opinion.
But those work on a safety chord system right? Wouldn't that make it more vulnerable to the rear ended type of crash they showed in the vid since the chord wouldn't be pulled far back enough to activate the airbag.
@@crab_spy_ helite offers a motogp model with no cord needed.
@@crab_spy_ if you attach it properly it will go off any way you fall off. You attach them with enough room so that you don't set it off in normal riding but not enough to not go off in an actual accident. Most people at first are afraid of setting it off by accident by forgetting to unclip and walking away so they leave a ton of room which is bad in a real accident, but in reality the cord takes a ton of force to pull out. It's enough force to pull your bike over before it goes off.
The 4 person popcorn lineup was hilarious 😂😂😂
If you wear Dainese gear and have an accident, make sure to contact them. More likely than not they will ask you to send you gear in so they can study it for product improvement studies. That's where the updates for these airbags come from for street riding =D
I tested it 2 years ago. It saved my life, and that i am able to walk. I will never ride without a D Air Airbag. Thank you Dainese for this great product!
When I first heard of airbag suits for motorcycles years ago I thought it was a joke. Seeing it in action like this I don't know if I want to ride a bike without it.
I would never ride without airbag, i don't ride for my safety (because i am an idiot who would constantly go over the speed limit) but i have a friend who rides bikes, and he has a full biker suite, looks something like those GP suites, it has reinforced back protection, elbow and knee protection and airbags. Yeah it is hard to walk in that thing but he crashed many times, worst injury was a broken arm
The part with the musical chairs had me dying 😂 great video!
One of those saved my friend's life. They are crazy good.
The one with the co2 can and pull string isn't nearly as fast as d-air. and dainese will stand by it no matter what. yes, it is a little expensive to fix after a wreck but it's a lot cheaper than the hospital
thank you so much for this video, i have always wanted to see more details about them but i never figured it would be donut :) more bike content
I love that during musical chairs, Jeremiah (the one who actually rides bikes) immediately knows to protect his groin. As soon as the bags deploy you can see the other guys clutching in pain
As someone who rides a mini bike often, those last hits with the van sent shivers down my spine...
Sure did for the dummy too.
9:18 thats exactly my reaction seeing the bike storm towards that bmw.. that dummy wanted to sabotage your day
On the hand you knew it was a bad idea with all those nice cars next to the "crash site", on the other hand, makes for a better video and views...so it pays for the repairs?
@@athienit It looked hardly scratched so I think it’ll buff out.
Seems like the "lake" could of been avoided too, but they set up the crash to happen right next to the water. 🤷🏻♀
The musical chairs part is perfect and I haven’t even seen the results yet. Gosh I love how y’all are family and friends & work with passion. Thank you James, Jerry, and Zach and can’t forget Glasses. Hahaha I wanna meet y’all, and one day I’m gonna come to Cali just to visit y’all and give my appreciation 😊
I've been curious about how well these airbag vests work, good to see they work well. Keep the motorcycle content coming! Would love to see a high/low series with sport bikes or even just more product reviews like this!
I can’t believe how awesome you guys have gotten. Production just keeps getting better. Your ideas and videos keep me entertained and educated. Love some Donut.
that's what being own by a private hedge fund gets you
@@StanleyKubick1 as long as it keeps giving us bombass videos, i don't really care
I follow donut for many years and the production is going down by a great margin... shows they had about cars and car people are gone, money pit is over, hi/low is over... its all just sad... I miss up to speed and money pit... this remote bike trash or safety crap aint even interesting to watch since I aint gonna be buying that... aswell as most curent donut vids that are pointless... like drift RC car and whatnot...
@@bumpy86 well something tells me the guy who's dumb enough to not care about safety isn't the target audience for videos about safety products. Funny how that works. Maybe you should just seek other channels instead of thinking this one needs to cater to you so personally.
@@bumpy86 Yeah they've fallen off a cliff recently
This is exactly what happened to me. I didn’t have a airbag jacket and now I’m living with a brachial plexus injury (paralyzed right arm) . Stay safe fellow riders and chase only opportunities to improve each day🙏🏼
I love my Klim In&Box airbag vest. I prefer it over the Dainese vests because it has a much larger inflatable section to protect your neck. The idea is that the neck portion inflates and actually lifts your helmet up slightly, which allows it to reduce not just direct impacts to the neck, but also axial loading if you hit your head.
Airbag vests are fantastic, and I am excited that they seem to be becoming more commonplace!
I looked at that one but wasn't too impressed with their "rent" system. Ended up going with a tech air 5
I love the animation about the dummy driving a motorcycle and when he crashes, he was sent FLYIN 5:48
I’m so happy you guys are making these videos about bikes now!! I grew up riding on these Coleman bikes around the neighborhood! Now I’m graduating to a v star 250! Loving the new motorcycle content!! Keep it up donut 🍩
Awesome to see Pol and Joan on the show!
This is one of the best edited video Donut has made, just loved the animations!
This is the BEST video I've seen on motorcycle airbags guys! Love it :D
I see donut I immediately click, I appreciate you guys pumping out the videos !
This is cool. I use an airbag vest. I really wanted to know how effective it was in "real life" outside of manufacturers lab tests and never want to experience having to trigger it myself so this is the next closest thing to witnessing it operate in real life.
this is science at its finest. very professional crash testing boys
Mad props to the first person that equests a Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man styled suit!
My favourite bit was Jeremiah talking about bike safety while riding on a highway, one handed, and looking at a camera 😂
Always enjoyed Jer’s motorcycle content
I had a Dainese Smart Jacket airbag vest when it first came out in Australia early 2020. But the velcro patches which helped secure the airbag canister holders in place kept peeling off it's backing adhesive. Wasn't considered a safety issue but didn't give me a lot of confidence in a AUD$1000+ product which was intended to save my life in an emergency. So I ended up swapping it for an Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 airbag vest.
That crash dummy GOT SOME CAKE 🤤
Jobe grabbed that crowbar and the look on his face was pure joy!
I was watching Adam Savage on one of his answer fan questions and it was about quotes, and this one applys to you guys as that looked so much fun lol
the difference between larking around and science is for sicence you write down the results lol
Agreed. One of my favorite lines of his.
applies
also I believe it was "screwing around" not sure what larking means
@@Heroo01
Its a UK word for screwing, larking.
Yeah i got a bit confused but it means the same thing.
Hey guys, just started the first chapter at Donut @ Forza and im loving it, great job you guys
I love how y’all are the new myth busters I loved growing up watching them
these guys are becoming more and more like mythbusters x top gear and im totally here for it...
Chang LI support truck 🤣 Jeremiah you are fn funny brother that was epic!!!😂
This was a fantastic vid overall. I also recommend the FortNine vid on this same subject. He goes into more detail along with showcasing other electronic and an analog one too.
That is by far the dopest thing I've seen on this channel
I think it would be a good idea to put Velcro on the dummys hands since it kinda simulates holding on to the bike and helps stability
I'm looking forward to this tech trickling down into the rest of the market. It is thanks to the high end manufacturers that stuff like this gets developed and comes to the rest of the market over time. I would be interested in seeing a video that compares high end / mid range / budget / ali express special safety gear though.
Something like Dainese / RST / Oxford / Ali Express
I wear a lot of RST gear and it has always been amazing and have had a few slides in my time as well. Even now when I could afford to I don't think I'll ever drop the money on Dainese stuff as I don't think I'm ever going to be riding at the tolerances where having it over RST would make a difference. It would be really interesting to know if that's actually the case though.
Helite and Hit Air make airbag vests that go over any jacket. Klim also has a vest that goes under a jacket but requires a monthly subscription to use or it won't deploy (you know you've reached peak dickbag when you charge a monthly sub for a safety feature). Alpinestars also has their tech-air suits, jackets and a vest that goes under any jacket, but they're just as pricey as Dianese.
@@mrvwbug4423 I hear good things about Hit Air so may well check them out. Although I don't ride sports bikes as much now, I'm actually thinking of making the swap to something like a Vulcan 650. Still not sure how I feel about that, but 20 years of cramming myself onto bikes to go way too fast... it might just be time to get something a little more comfy!
Good to see Pol doing fine during this, you guys need to do motorcycle series❤
That was friggin AWESOME to see the MotoGP riders on Donut!
I love how the guys thought that only one chair would blow. 😂
6:28
“frickin idiot” sounds like Napoleon Dynamite 🤣
I was lucky enough to see it in world premier: Vittore Cossalter, the inventor, was my professor of applied mechanics at the University of Padua. The first day of lesson the madlad came into the classroom on a hot-rodded electric-blue bike he somehow got Aprilia and Ducati to collaborate on (factori tuned Ducati v-twin on a factory modified Aprilia chassis), with the prototype of that jacket on. He then proceded to "fall" from the bike to demonstrate the effects, and all of this cause he needed designers for his University racing team. Absolute mad-man!!!
This production is absolutely top tier.
Sooo we’re mostly nonchalant about hitting the M5? Meaning it’s all good or is this the last we see of the Donut test sight? 😓
They definitely hid that it deployed after the van hit with the crash dummy graphic. Since the suit has to detect the force before it could deploy, there's no way it deployed before the van hit from the back. It did protect the head even though the spine would be shattered.
Seems like an advertisement
Nah i think you're misreading the situation. the suit deployed before it hit the dummy. the whole point is to minimize the amount of damage done, so it detects abnormal angles and velocity. the suit deployed when it detected abnormal movement from the dummy, cause the van hit the wheel and pushed the whole bike forward, which is what would happen in most instances. His spine wouldn't have been shattered because the suit deployed before the van made contact with the dummy. it straightened out its back so it couldn't arch backwards from impact. look at the slow mo shot, the thing deployed before hitting its back.
It absolutely deployed a time later than impact. You can clearly see how much later it deployed, in the footage.. dude went flying...... The system isn't designed to protect a stationary person. It's designed for people already in motion. They shouldn't have tried a stationary test, as it's not relevant at all.
@@loganishere4760 I agree that's the idea in theory, and that would most likely work fine on a larger bike with a bigger tire and more distance between the back tire and your back. However, in this specific example the bumper of the van was almost above the back tire. At 12:00 you can use the < and > key on the keyboard to go frame by frame and only after his entire back is against the hood can you see the front of the vest start to inflate and the ripples in the fabric as it fills with gas. What I'm referring to is at 12:40 they show the entire no airbag slow-mo shot before they insert the crash test dummy graphic, then at 12:55 they insert the graphic as soon as the bumper touches the dummy so you cant see exactly when the front of the vest inflates. This video was definitely sponsored by Dainese, and at 8:58 you can see a Dainese van. Most likely Dainese did not like that the vest did not have enough time to inflate because the tall bumper went over the small tire and they wanted it "covered up." The airbag is still better than nothing, and would help in most cases, but there is also room for improvement. Most likely the vest has accelerometers inside it that sense the movements and rotations, however that means that the suit itself needs to move. Because of inertia an object stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. The dummy is sitting still and the bike is pushed out from under him but the torso, and thus the vest, is relatively still. Then the outside force is the bumper pushing the torso and vest causing both to begin accelerating. In the first test the bike is moving and then stops abruptly causing the rider to lean forward and thus create a weird rotation that the vest can detect. There is enough time while the rider is in the air for the airbag to deploy before the rider lands on the car or road. I believe an improvement that could be made is adding proximity sensors to the suit, so if it detects an object is rapidly approaching you it can deploy before the object even touches you and before there is any acceleration or rotation. However this would be much more computationally heavy because a computer would have to calculate and decide if the object is somebody getting on the back of your bike, a car that is just passing by a bit too close, if the object is slow enough to stop in time, or if an impact is unavoidable and the airbag needs to deploy.
“This time I’ll go for the mustang”
Ohhh sweet sweet revenge😎
Impressive piece of tech! No wonder MotoGP riders wouldn't ride without it.
Works really well from behind considering your back isn't normally at bumper level, on a normal motorcycle the airbag would activate before the car actually touching you.
Yeah, they used a very small bike and a very tall car, on a full size bike rider would probably end up on the windshield
tbf in the US that car is bumper is low compared to what you usually see on the road, mostly trucks and suvs/crossovers
Nolan's Imperial looks soooooo good on bags!!
Fortnine did an awesome video on these, glad you guys did too. These saves lives.
Amazing tech. Every biker should have something like this, and even the pedal bikers that travel on the roads. Sure hope the price of them comes down a bit though.
Messing with airbags is always fun and educational
Great video. Silly but still informative, as usual.
More videos about safety!
I like all the planes you've been featuring lately
The Donut guys have one of the most organized RUclips team I’ve ever seen. I throughly enjoy the content!
Where is James?
Just lost a friend of mine yesterday to a motorcycle accident. I really hope technology like this gets more accessible to all… the amount of fatal crashes is just so high.
love this kinda stuff
I'm interested in that M5 lmao
whose was it? who's fixing it?
What M5? I didn't see nothing.
I feel like the parking lot needs a new drainage ditch 😅
And also… maybe some movable fencing to protect all those cars 😂
Jeremiah it was awesome to see you at the motogp after party! Hope to see you again next year!
A lot of Tech is like "it's not perfect but it's better than nothing and it will better in the future.." That airbag works absolutely flawlessly. Super impressive
On behalf of the Italian people, I thank you for your pronunciation of Dainese!
too many motorcyclists on the crew to not know how to pronounce it!
I'm really curious about the bmw they hit , who owns it? Will they be able to use this lot after this? Sure there wasn't much damage but if it now has an accident report, that can really lower it's value
I would assume whoever's it is, they were apologetic, pay for damages & wouldn't be surprised if they add a little for value reimbursement 👍. If I had the means to do so I'd do it exactly like this.
It's my car I just bought another one and gave the one they hit to them.
Did not expect Donut to interview MotoGP riders, great stuff.

9:27 who could’ve predicted that driving an rc motorcycle with a history of losing control around a bunch of cars would end in the motorcycle hitting one?
I really hope these catch on and become a riding staple. I definitely want one.

@@ufwJean what happened?
@@ratedm90 oh idk what happened, i was just saying like are they gonna address his lack of presence in the videos
the real problem with the last test is that the dummy would die instantly due to whiplash, also it would've been nice to put this type of stickers that break due to g force for a more scientific approach
FINALLY! ive been waiting for this one since you guys put training wheels on the mini bike and crashed it into a wall of tires.
It would be cool to see you guys collaborate with The Slow Mo Guys
If a semi hits you, nothing will save you.
If a Semi hits you, god or the universe probably wants you dead anyway
Thanks doc. I'll keep that one in mind.
Thanks for the info
🤣
If you guys would stop merging in front of semis 50ft infront of them they may not hit you. Takes a semi truck sum 355ft to stop at 55mph
If you make a video on safety gear, please, like at 1:49 WEAR GLOVES !
That was a great catch! 👍
I have the same suit thankfully I’ve never had to really use it but good to know it will in fact save my life
These guys got Joan Mir and Pol Espargaro right before the COTA grand prix - let's go!
Make sure you mention alot of these devices REQUIRE a subscription to work. Absolute scam since you own the hardware ( look up avalanche protection gear same principle)
It’s basically life insurance. Both scams, but I’d take this airbag over insurance any day.
Dainese vest do not require a subscription service you get free software upgrade for the life of the product
Are you seriously having gambling advertisements on videos where most of the merchandise is often aimed at much younger people?
r u seriously serious
5:10 reminds me of Mario party for some reason 🤣
The musical chairs was awesome! I havent laughed that hard in a while!
The sports betting sponsorship is straight up disgusting
