Re: Life in a Wheelchair....

I think the big problem would be making medics more aware of them. I know down here in butt **** arkansas, the medics arent going to know anything about them and will just pull your helmet off like they would any other time

Re: Life in a Wheelchair....

Don't the new Arais come with a similar thing stock? They don't inflate but the whole liner has a quick disconnect to the shell slides right off

Re: Life in a Wheelchair....

My problem lies in the "mandatory" I think if you wanna spend $60 (not$50) +shipping on this item, great and good for you but dont ram it down everyones throat like its gonna prevent every neck injury that may occur. Is there even any evidence this product saved anybody? If so you should mention it to give credibility before forcing broke stunters to spend the money and effort to get something that "may" only save 1 in a million. If thats really the case.

don't be stubborn my friend......just say "yes, this is a great idea" and simply move on without having to bash it.

Re: Life in a Wheelchair....

Im sorry but until its proven, its not a good idea. Actually if you inflate the thing too fast you may cause more damage than good. Also I am not trying to bash the product, just making some observations. Using my freedom of speech, just like the freedom I should have to make decisions concerning my safety and what products to use. Besides its motorcycle ridin isnt it supposed to be a little dangerous?

Good Stuff!

I'm sure our stunters who are also emt's, paramedics or nurses will concur in the value of this device.

I would prefer to be that 1 in a million... looks like to me it could be the best money you've ever wasted.

Re: Life in a Wheelchair....

strong safety protocols that are enforced industry wide for pro comps will be a huge asset in the coming years, because freestyle motorsports in general are right now having their reputations crapped all over by the huge insurance liability known as monster truck freestyle.

I'll be damned if they don't kill more people a year than sharks.

cool product

I heard about that. I was in Ohio about ten days ago preaching "freestyle is the new rock and roll" to the non-believers when a monster truck flew into peices during a freestyle run and killed a 6 year old in Washington.

the next day seemed more like a safety meeting. I could feel the market get harder.

but if this is a requirement, then why not make a leatte brace a requirement?


Why require something that could help you after a neck injury, instead of just wearing something that could prevent the neck injury all together

Are you talking about this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoAgh...eature=channel

If so, that would be the equivalent to someone walking out in front of you on the track when your doing 70mph combo's

Re: Life in a Wheelchair....

Safety is a super big issue now days with everyone....Everywhere you look weather its hand rails or warning signs it seems to be everyones concern and even if there is a chance that it could save your life WHY NOT? i would much rather pay 50 60 even 100 bucks to have a chance of not being wheel chair bound and poopin on myself.....I mean every sport has its rules and regs on safety issues and if you have a stunt comp where there 2000 ppl watchin it would make things alot better if a rider didnt get parilized in front of them all.....Just like you have to wear a helmet and a jacket...I mean fifty bucks is like buying a good set of gloves
