So did anyone know that these types of systems are available?

They are located in North Vancouver. I was able to try a few vests on and found that they are all a comfortable fit. I couldn't even feel that it was on. The only difference I found is each model's air bags are positioned a little different in the vest.

I have one now and might be crash testing one sometime through the WMRC race season. It might be the best investment I ever made. It's a no-brainer people. You race, you will crash.

Who has the official total of crashes in round#1 and 2?

Very interesting. Can you please test it for us Rob? :jerkoff:

I wanted to ask Mike about his neck brace, anyone have info on what he was wearing? I could have used that on Saturday.

Mike Thompson is wearing a Leatt Brace, purchased from RMR who usually has them in stock.

The thing about the Leatt, Simon, is that in your crash you just had, you might also have had a broken collar bone. The leatt transfers energy that would go into your spine, to your collar bones instead. Much better to have a minor collarbone break than a broken neck/spine.
