I have a hit-air vest, but I think Alpinestar's system offers better protection, the only exception is the neck. A*'s system covers the shoulders and may well have prevented your injury, and it's (from reports) ridiculously, magically, good at knowing when to fire.

The reason I didn't get one is that they don't have a vest that will fit in both touring and sport jackets. All the sport jackets require their race vest and all their touring jackets require their street vest. I'm not about to buy TWO airbag vests, so I went with the hit-air.

Glad you didn't get hurt more, and I'm sure your airbag did help prevent more injuries too!
