In about 10 years they'll perfect the wearable airbag vests for cycling. Even if it did prevent 90% of injuries people wouldn't wear it; people don't crash enough to justify the hassle, fashion faux pas, or various performance penalties (aero, weight, heat); its the same logic people avoided seat belts and helmets.

Everytime I've went down my only thought is protect the neck and head. Past that there's not much time to think about anything else.
