IDK about how many people ride with a Klim airbag, but i see people buying Dainese D-air vests occasionally. Still a bit expensive and bulky for the average rider.
Why? For the same reasons you'd buy a car with an airbag. All drivers are out to kill you, an airbag makes it less likely that they'll succeed.

So I'm curious, how do these motorcycle airbag vests activate? Is it just an accelerometer that reacts to a sufficiently sudden motion or something? And are there any tests on how much of a difference they actually make?

I've had nightmares where gravity loses its effect on me and my steps getting too light and suddenly I'm bounding hundreds of feet in the air uncontrollably.

Those dreams feel a lot how this looks.

Framing in a structure is supposed to assist with the support of the weight of the structure. ie. The framing of the walls help hold up the roof, the framing of the roof helps hold up the roofing material. Any intersection should look like it can hold the weight of what's on top of it while whatever moderate version of your local shake the poo poo out of your house is going on (tornado/earthquake/typhoon/hurricane). The intersection pictured looks like it will collapse when brushed with a half-assed beer fart. That's if it holds together long enough to actually finish whatever project they're loving up.

I feel like this might be opening the airplane on a treadmill cam of worms but why isn’t this guy falling into the ground as the tractor drives forward while he’s in the air?

He didn't start jumping until the tractor was already moving. At that point, he keeps his horizontal motion until something acts to change it.

If the driver accelerates (or brakes or turns) he'll be in trouble, but as long as the tractor is going forward at the same speed he is he'll be fine.

The simplest answer: the timbers should be flush and against each other so they can support each other not...that

It will be held together with load bearing roof decking.

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!

Perfectly safe. He's got two jacks and different sized cinder blocks for redundancy.

TBH, unless there are no leaf springs attached to the axle and chassis, its probably *not that* unsafe*****.If those blocks break he'll probably just get banged in the head.

***** I'm not saying its safe, just less deadly than if say the tires were off that thing.

I think it's important to note that if he gets hit in the head it will be with a whole-rear end car.
