Having started his career with leather race suits and motocross-style boots, Valentino Rossi has seen more than most in the development of racing technology and one feature that’s impressed him has been the ‘RoboCop’ airbag safety device.

Guy Martin say he 'got off lightly' in his massive 2010 Isle of Man TT crash because of the leathers and safety kit he was wearing.

A new era in rider safety will begin in this weekend's British Grand Prix at Donington Park, when world championship leaders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo will use Dainese's D-air system in a MotoGP race.

The airbag, contained within a 'collar' around the top of the rider's leathers, supports and protects the neck and collarbone area during an accident, and can be easily removed afterwards.
