Has anyone had any FHE with this company and product. It looks interesting:

it does look interesting. It would have to made of some serious sh*t to handle the initial impact and then survive the slide across the pavement. I will have to read more and figure out how the deployment happens. It would suck if you have to pull the rip cord yourself.

There is a shock cord that is tied to the bike and required 50-55lbs to initiate the inflation. I'm pretty tempted.
Aprilia just posted theirs on FB.

Didn't Dainese make a jacket with airbags?

Dainese does have a Jacket w, an Airbag and Lorenzo and Rossi have both worn it.
Don't know for sure when it will be on the market.
Alpinestars has one also that I think is on the market now.
Dolph :)

vincheung,
Will you report back in after a few rides and let us know what you think? Thx in advance!

Cool! Thanks for the write-up.
I have the MX-5 jacket, which is mesh, and very comfortable and cool over the two hundred miles I've put on it. When I decided I really liked it and wanted to make sure I could keep using it if I accidentally inflated it (unlikely, but I'm forgetful) I ordered a spare CO2 cartridge for it. John at SaferMoto, who has been terrific, responded "Does this mean you "tried out" your jacket?"

Thanks, Vincheung. I've got the latest "keybox" (gray, not solid black).
