# Wearable Airbag Jackets These Airbag Jackets Don't Rely on Motorcycle Signals for Release By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-09-16 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbag-jackets References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/14/dainese-motorcycle-airbag-jacket-d-air-misano-1000/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi) & [dainese](http://www.dainese.com/us_en/corporate/content/news_show/identifier/D-air-Misano-1000/) While other airbag jackets exist on the market, Dianese's latest model is the only one to activate without reliance on the motorcycle's signal. Until now, the motorbike would detect a crash and signal the jacket to deploy; however, there was room for error as the motorcycle could get so damaged in a crash that the signal would be delayed or not send at all. That is where the D-air Misano 1000 jacket provides a design solution. Using [built-in sensors, GPS and other electronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardo-systems), the airbag jackets monitor the movement of the rider 800 times a second. Upon impact or a sense of tumbling, the jacket deploys its airbag, protecting the motorcyclist from a potentially fatal fall. With an on/off front switch for when the wearer isn't riding, there is room to move and play with the jacket on when off-bike as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wearable Airbag Technology:** The advancement of wearable airbag technology allows for improved rider safety on motorcycles. - **Sensor Integration:** The integration of built-in sensors, GPS, and other electronics in airbag jackets provides real-time monitoring and enhanced protective features. - **Independent Activation Systems:** The development of airbag jackets with independent activation systems eliminates reliance on external signals, improving reaction times and safety measures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Motorcycle Safety:** The motorcycle safety industry can capitalize on the demand for advanced protective gear such as wearable airbag jackets. - **Sporting Goods:** The sporting goods industry can explore opportunities to incorporate wearable airbag technology into protective gear for various sports. - **Automotive Accessories:** The automotive accessories industry can tap into the market of airbag jackets by offering products designed for non-motorcycle use, such as for outdoor activities or work environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protective Airbag Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocycle.md) - [Airbag Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerobag-system.md) - [Airbag-Integrated Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbag-bicycle-helmet.md) - [Airbag-Deploying Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-airbag.md) - [Stylish Technical Motorcycle Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-mulholland-motorcycle-jacket.md) - [Safety-Precaution Wearable Airbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ydb-airbag.md) - [Augmented Reality Motorcyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoei-eyelights-gtair-3-smart.md) - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [AR-Integrated Smart Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoeigtair3.md)
