Seems like it would be feasible. Just program it to take control of the throttle and brakes whenever the bike is off of the ground.
No, I am not advocating for it, just throwing out the hypothesis. Probably would save a lot of goon riders from themselves.
If a manufacturer were to ever do it, I think all of the others would have to also, to avoid lawsuits.
Thoughts?

The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
I think trying to make this would would actually end up creating a lot more lawsuits than it would prevent!!
One way to do it maybe would be to have a double flywheel mechanism mounted down behind the cylinder.
If you had 2 flywheels next to each other that rotated different directions... and you braked one or the other, wouldn't that apply g forces to the front or the rear? stopping an endo or loop out?
Seems like if they did add it and it failed, that would be a more likely lawsuit. Like those cars that "apply the brakes for you."
The hypothesis is the answer you think you'll find. Then you need to go out and prove your " hypothesis" by building the anti endo/loop technology and then watch to see if there are lawsuits. Or a better " hypothesis" would be, I think it would save a bunch of goon riders from themselves and then go and prove it. Either way the anti endo/loop technology is not a hypothesis but a idea,the hypothesis would be the outcome you think would happen.
Did I use the word" hypothesis" enough in my rant ?
. Key Info
A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work.
Most of the time a hypothesis is written like this: "If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen." (Fill in the blanks with the appropriate information from your own experiment.)
Your hypothesis should be something that you can actually test, what's called a testable hypothesis. In other words, you need to be able to measure both "what you do" and "what will happen."
This is not something that I would want to see, but I do think that stuff like this will be here eventually. Kind of like ABS in cars, which I feel is primarily to assist people who lack driving skills, or panic and just stand on the brake pedal when scared.
This is the off season, and I am bored. Thought I might provoke a conversation about what technology may come along in the future.
I used to ride alot by myself on the sx track in the yard ,had a bad crash on day and had to crawl ,drag myself back to the shop.
After that I tucked a cell phone behind the front plate,bar pad.
When I broke the neck if wade had not been here I'd laid there till dark or later,no telling.
Pit Row
Reminds me of a function on my 4x4 that shuts off the throttle if the tires spin. When driving in deep sand on the beach I'll be trying to keep momentum and the freaking engine shuts off. I usually turn that function off.
Seriously, should we all be put in a safety coushin protected bubble and remote-controlledly pushed around the track while drinking mtn dew and eating mcdonalds and getting an IV for our diabeetus?
I wouldnt ever want my bike thinking it knows whats best for me at any point in time on a motocross track. What if I want my front end to drop so I can preliad for the next hit? What if I want to land on my back tire to get over a set of braking bumps smoothly? Theres no amount of technology in the world that can make those sort of decisions for me in the. 0002 seconds you have to make a decision between hitting a section perfectly or crashing and breaking bones.
Besides, what if the technology glitches? Riders get slammed into the dirt because the bike locked up the brakes in the air.
Seriously, if you cant control the bike for yourself you shouldnt be riding one
Finally little Timmy can race with the pros.
1. Endo's and Loopouts are caused by what you do BEFORE you leave the jump face. The solution to the problem is not screwing up your takeoff. (RIDING TECHNIQUE).
2. There is not enough angular momentum for the rider to work with to counteract a big mistake made prior to leaving the face, once you are in the air. You can correct small mistakes with a panic rev or brake tap, but there is not enough angular momentum to work with to correct a big one. (PHYSICS)
So many outrageous saves from this guy.
heres my favorite....at 100+ mph.
