A Japanese company says it has invented an airbag to prevent elderly people from injuring themselves when they fall.

The makers say the device can be strapped around the waist and will inflate in a tenth of a second if it detects that the person wearing it is accelerating towards the ground.

The airbag weighs just over a kilogram and protects the back of the head and the hips

Great, he bounces around like a basketball until it finally tips over and gets driven face first into the concrete whereupon he suffocates if obaachan is not there to tip him back upright.

Should be great fun to watch.

Or he sits down too quickly at a restaurant, and the air bag (thinking he's falling) explodes open - launching him up from his seat and over the table, into his fellow diners.
