But a couple of questions spring to mind..... Are they a "use once only" item, like a helmet, once crashed must be destroyed/replaced?.... Or can the air cushion be replaced?... And would it need to be taken to a professional to have it regassed if used?
Anyway looking forward to a review.... Believe me if I could afford something like this I'd definately give it a shot!

As Dave says in the previous post, as long as the air bags aren't damaged, all it takes is 15 min and a new CO2 cartridge to have it back in working order.
You say "Believe me if I could afford something like this I'd definately give it a shot!"
It's no different to when you're choosing a helmet, how much is your head worth?
For me it's a no brainer. This thing can potentially save your neck, spine, ribs and vital organs in a major impact.
Even if I take out all other considerations other than the financial ones, it could save me a fortune in medical expenses if I ever do come off at the wrong time.
Even if I miss 1 day less of work after a fall, it has payed for itself.
$600 to potentially save yourself from a life in a wheelchair (or worse). NO BRAINER!
Just in case anyone else is keen to take advantage of the strong Ozy $ at the moment. Here's the link to the one I just ordered.
