Electronic reacts more quickly. A few years ago I did some sums and checked with some manufacturers. The numbers may have changed since, but what I discovered was that if you t-bone a car in a smidsy, the electronic will inflate before your body hits the car. The leash won't.

So what are the scenarios? Non-racing, street riding…
T-bone: you go headfirst, any speed.
T-bone: you’re hit from the side.

HighsideAfter them I guess it’s someone clipped and launched you, buckaroo’d by street furniture, and the infamous “I didn’t have time to react, I just had to drop it”.
In all of them I can appreciate that electronic would initiate well before cord. Only the ones where cord wouldn’t initiate or would be too slow would concern me. But don’t mind me, I wear bits of foam under a dead cow.

I’m no grandad but I am a great uncle so feel a shaft is permitted for me. Just not a BM because I want to have delusions of still being cool. I bought the Guzzi and pick it up Saturday. Expect a lot of pics.
For airbags on the street, electronic or leash?
