Motorcycle airbag jacket

Mmmnn, you may be leaving your advice a little late, 12 years is a long time ago and actually all airbags are, figuratively speaking, prophylactic, as is any device or mechanism intended to prevent harmful consequences.
ORIGIN OF PROPHYLACTIC
French prophylactique from Greek prophulaktikos from prophulassein to take precautions against pro- before pro–2 phulassein to protect (from phulax guard)

However, if there are any prompt suggestions for my improvement, I may be able to rectify my behaviour before it becomes habitual and ingrained!

After more than 48 years riding without very efficient protection, I have got an airbag to wear under my motorbike jacket. As I am not riding in a warm area, it should be fine during summer. Looking at pro and cons, I have chosen the one which is not linked to the bike. It will not cover all situations but it will be better than my jacket alone.
Nevertheless I hope that it will be useless for years .....

Why would you want it to be useless?

Hopefully no crash, no use, i.e. use less than once.

Ha. Ok. Play on words. I see it like insurance, very useful for peace of mind.
