Joseph McPhatter, of Randallstown, was injured in a crash on Interstate 83 after being cut off by another motorist in September. According to police, McPhatter was ejected 100 feet, hitting the ground at an impact rate of 140 mph.

Police said that McPhatter might have been severely injured had it not been for the Impact Jacket he was wearing -- a jacket that inflates like an air bag when a motorcyclist is in an wreck. - http://www.wbaltv.com/news/14328936/detail.html

I didn't know these existed.

Those are kinda neat. I didn't know they existed either. Wouldn't surprise me if they soon become mandatory.
