HONDA is introducing "Smartphone Case N" that has small six air bag to protect Smartphone in the case.
Sorry, the video is Japanese. Followings are some essence;
The engineer is start development this case by his loss of his own smartphone, drop and damage.
He start drop test and found the critical height of damaging phone is 1.67m from the flower.
After several design of protection case, he reached to 6 air bag concept that is took from N-wagon Air Bug system.
The nice Nitrogen gas inflated air bag is shown at the end of the video.
Hope to have something similar on our Quad.

I like the idea of an airbag that would pop out and protect a mounted camera, which could be several times more expensive than even a nice multicopter.
Expensive wife. May be time to change the wife :)
Hey don't laugh.... the wife costs me $500 - $1000 in dropped cell phones a year, even with Otter cases. If I made her use one of these, she may stop dropping them :) :)
Is this air bag infringe this patent application?
@Sam, or maybe it's just because we don't understand it.
I guess this is supposed to be some kind of elaborate dry humor sketch, intended to promote the safety of a Honda vehicle?
It is co2 as per the second link. And it is a fiction :)
It's a great video, the humor is amazing. I suspect western audiences are now too accustomed to half-second jump cuts, instant punch lines and offensive or crude jokes. You know, like Family Guy.
@ Chris, correct. It looks like a CO2 gas in the picture.
@ Morli and Jason, This movie is made for promotion to show the six air bag on very small car.
The good translation will find at " http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/honda-case-n-fits-airbags-to-yo... ".
Which do you like para-shoot and air bag for the crash?
Maybe randy can translate? I guess it's an ultra dry Japanese humor thing...
Hmm, now who would want to carry a airbag cased smart phones!!?. Doesn't look too smart lugging luggage like these now days :).
Vince , I too don't see the reasoning except vague application.
