# Motorcycling Safety Armor Dainese D-Air Suit By Ayman | Published 2008-03-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dainese-d-air References: [inventorspot](http://inventorspot.com/articles/airbag_suit_could_save_many_lives_11961) Motorcycling is a thrilling but dangerous lifestyle. Now, bikers can avoid injuries and possible fatalities with an air-bag suit developed by Dainese. Rather than being attached to the bike itself, the Dainese D-Air Suit's design uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to detect sudden changes in velocity and orientation to the ground. Whenever a change threshold is reached, the airbag will automatically deploy. The D-Air has already proved itself during a recent Grand Prix race on the Valencia Circuit where three different riders benefited from this new safety feature and avoided injuries. One of these accidents was as fastest at 123km/h (77mph). The Dainese D-Air Suit is projected to be available to the masses in 2010. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Motorcycle Safety Gear:** The development of the Dainese D-Air Suit highlights a growing trend in the motorcycling industry towards safer gear. - **Smart Sensor Technology:** The use of accelerometers and gyroscopes in the Dainese D-Air Suit represents an emerging trend in the development of smart safety systems for various industries. - **Innovation in Personal Protective Equipment:** The Dainese D-Air Suit showcases the potential for disruptive innovation in the personal protective equipment industry. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Industry:** The Dainese D-Air Suit has the potential to revolutionize the motorcycle industry by improving rider safety. - **Sports Industry:** The smart technology used in the Dainese D-Air Suit could be applied to other sports industries, such as skiing or extreme sports, to enhance athlete safety. - **Safety Equipment Industry:** The development of the Dainese D-Air Suit opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the safety equipment industry by introducing advanced technology and smart features. ## 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) - [Augmented Reality Motorcyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoei-eyelights-gtair-3-smart.md) - [Stylish Technical Motorcycle Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-mulholland-motorcycle-jacket.md) - [AR Motorcycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-motorcycle-helmet.md) - [Airbag-Deploying Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-airbag.md) - [Sleek Full-Face Moto Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supertech-r10-launch-edition-helmet.md) - [AR-Integrated Smart Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoeigtair3.md)
