    Would it be possible to fit an airbag to a bike?, this would have to totally
    enclose the rider in the event of a collision and be triggered by front rear
    and side impact.

    Mmmmmm, no, not with the current bike design. One will
    have to add "framing" around the rider to make the air bag
    effective.

    You can fit an airbag to the rider...

    Physically I dont see why not but it would lead to a heavy cumbersome bike
    and would be highly impracticle ... and Mike Vandeman would claim that it
    has a detrimental effect on wildlife
