When you think of Airbags, you think of Dainese. It was back in 2000 when the first D-air® system was developed by the Veneto company, which officially presented it at the exhibition in Munich. In 2004, the patent receives a specific definition thanks to the participation of the Safety Research Project, headed by the engineer Cossalter. In 2006, it sees its first real activation on the track. In 2007, D-air® Racing is created, designed for sporting use: during the Valencia Grand Prix trials, Simone Grotzky activates it for the first time. In the following year, 2008, the D-air® street tests begin. From 2009, specifically during the German Grand Prix, at least one rider from each class wears D-air® racing. From 2011, the system is available to the public.
