The comic is from Luca Ruggeri over at Motoblog and perfectly depicts how Jorge Lorenzo’s D-Air leathers looked like after his crash at Brno.
After Jorge Lorenzo’s D-Air leathers did not deflate immediately after his crash at Brno, Dainese investigated the incident to avoid further mishaps that could compromise a rider’s chances of getting back into the race if the system doesn’t deflate promptly.
Lorenzo was wearing the more evolved version of the air bag system equipped with new and lighter material for the air sacks.
Dainese technicians found that Lorenzo crashed in a front lowside at 120km/h and that the system deployed correctly but found a defect in the deflation system.
To avoid further incidents of this type Dainese has decided that: 1) The deflating systems will be examined one by one before being installed.
2) The deflation system will be repositioned in areas where they can be inspected once they’re placed in the suit.
Dainesese has confirmed that the D-Air system has activated correctly eight times between tests and races and did not activate unnecessarily three times.
Here’s a list of Dainese clad riders that are using the D-Air System and when the system deployed or didn’t deploy after crashes:Jorge Lorenzo, one deployment during the Brno race.
Thomas Luthi, four deployments, in the Assen and Brno races and two during practices at Sachsenring and Donington.
Marco Simoncelli, two crashes during the Le Mans and Brno practice rounds where deployment wasn’t necessary.
Michael Ranseder, two deployments.
One in the Donington race and one in the Jerez practice.
Ranseder had another 2 crashes in the Sachsenring race and in the Jerez warm-up where deployment wasn’t necessary.
Valentino Rossi’s crash during the Indy GP race has yet to be placed in these statistics.
