The thing is these jackets dont guarantee life saving technology or such. It "COULD" save u'r life though depending on the incident , it'll atleast reduce the chances of injury.

Thats true, but thats true for regular jackets no ? so its has an added quality. I totally like this idea. Its like extra padding in critical areas without too much weight ! They do say that this could be put to use next in Moto GP where money should not be a constraint. They use kangaroo skin jackets in moto gp for their lower thickness and lighter weight for the same strenght of regular leather. I hope they go this next step !
