Safety device or amusing prank waiting to happen

Here's a new safety device for motor bike riders

The jackets are the equivalent of car air bags and inflate if the rider is thrown off during a crash. In one version, the jacket is attached to the bike by a lead which detaches when the rider has come off suddenly.

Either by prank or a forgetful rider, there will be a spate of Michelin men roaming the country in the not so distant future.
