Spaceman's ejection seat or Iceman's underpants are both exciting technology. Kickstarter, my friends. And there's a bridge in Brooklyn... :-)

Spaceman, count me in! Brilliant! I've always wanted to fly. http://darwinawards.com/stupid/stupid1998-11.htmlThis guy has been my hero, but you may well replace him.

Iceman's underpants are now available on FleaBay. No refunds accepted. PayPal however, is.

Using parts cannibalized from decommissioned jet-fighter aircraft, SMES uses both passive (activated by impact etc.) and rider-activated triggers to fire ejection rockets mounted under the motorcycle seat. The rider is propelled to a minimum of 1,500' altitude, where a Joint Precision Airdrop parachute is opened. The rider then steers his SMES to a safe landing zone up to 4,000 feet from the point of impact (better distances are possible depending on prevailing winds).

Options for the SMES under consideration include launch-activated GoPro cameras to document the accident and ejection, standard FAA-approved lighting in case the ejection occurs at night, and beverage holders with chemically-cooled beers to assist the ejectee in avoiding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the rigors of a high-speed, high-altitude ejection.

I'm accepting capital funding and stock ownership proposals if anyone is interested in getting in on the "ground floor" of this exciting technology.


What if my accident occurs in a mountain tunnel?? Wink

Be sure to include the squeegee and sponge options when ordering your SMES.

Go hagofuku yourself.

RE: Review: Hit-Air Airbag Motorcycle Vest (with photos)
Alpinestars will reportedly release a tetherless airbag vest, called the Tech-Air Street in 2015 in Europe and the US. $1,500 for the vest and between $440 to $800 for one of two jackets. I may get this.

News article HERE.

Enjoy and Happy New Year
