Dozens of lives could be saved every year if, like helmets, motorbike air bag jackets were made compulsory by the government.

That's according to accident and emergency doctors. But do they really work?

Rob Hunt, a stuntman for 12 years, tested an air bag jacket under controlled conditions at Goodwood race track.

What a brill idea. Better than landing flat on your back on the hard road. Don't know about the one just under the back of your next though - maybe give you more whiplash as you neck moves forward cause of the airbag at the base of it. How much do they cost?

They're double the price of a normal bike jacket.

I'd forget I was clipped onto the bike, get off it and *PFFT!*
