Great item, wish I had one when I got whacked years ago. Got a broken clavicle ended up with mal-rotation and some back problems, but still here that's what counts Ok!

So, a car 'jumped in front of him' and 'all he saw was brake lights' so the answer is to get rid of the 'speed bike' and get a cruiser that has worse stopping and handling capability?

I'm just sayin'.....


Actually, the guy came off pretty well in the interview. I hate doing that sort of thing...no mater how I thought I sounded in the interview, when I hear it later I sound like a fool.

Given my habit of forgetting to disconnect the tether on the boat and killing the motor when I stand up to dock, I wonder how long before I'd deploy the airbag jacket in the parking lot here at the office?

I was thinking the same thing. Although my new boat has a kill switch that is near impossible to trip. I can walk around the whole boat with the tether stretched out and it hasn't popped yet.

That's cool:shades:. but obviously the most common injury is to the legs:frown:
