Pictured above is a prototype of Yamaha’s advanced safety scooter, the ASV-3, at the Automotive Engineering Exposition in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo. One of the safety features is a multi-chambered air bag which opens from under the seat. I suppose that your seating position on the bike is of paramount importance; if you’re a little too close to the airbag when it deploys…ouch.
