Joined the locals at StarBucks for coffee this afternoon. Had a rider join us who related this story. He always rides wearing an air bag equiped high viz vest. He knows it works and credits the vest for saving his life or preventing serious injury. Last year he was cut off and found himself being launched over the handlebars in an accident. No death and no injuries were the result.
The vest is reuseable with a new compressed air cylinder and just has to be repacked (DIY)according to the owners manual.
I said it doesn't owe you a thing after the mishap and his reply was "I owe it".
Nice to hear of a glowing report about a safety item for riders from an actual rider who lived to tell about it. ATGATT !!! :2tup:
