Does anyone know if anyone produces seat belt mounted airbags for the Mooney Ovation?

See the Amsafe News discussion currently going on.

Yes they do currently...

The Amsafe thread above that N803... is referring to is to their new product coming out...

Old is pricey, new one should be more palatable when available...

You can ask your MSC for a quote for your plane.

You are better off with a motorcycle helmet, they are cheaper and makes you look cool.

You can die by hitting the yoke in your chest too hard.  You can bring your motorcycle helmet, wd40 and pee pee tube but I'm all in for the airbag seatbelts.

What good is a chest without a brain. Helmets save lives so you can live longer.

Yes yes you are right.  A helmet and an airbag would be better than an airbag alone.  An airbag alone is pretty good better than a standard seatbelt alone.  Very few people are flying mooney's when full face helmets on but if they did then yes I agree it would improve crash statistics.  

This guy seems to be carrying on just fine with no head.

Maybe a bullet proof vest with a helmet, combat tested and cheaper.

Been there - got the t-shirt.  Have 2000ish hours flying in a vest and helmet, I do not recommend, it totally SUCKS!
