my internet is real slow and I can't get the search to work so if this is repeated please erase.

I just found this airbag system on some facebook sidelink I think, I don remmember. Thing is, it looks preety smart and could have saved me 6 months of pain from one of my falls! wouldn't fix my broken arm as I fell with the horse and this only works if you're separated from the horse, but in any case, arms mend, backs may not.  ouch

I have a http://www.point-two.co.uk/equine/index.php

and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  So much less constraining  that a full body protector, very comfy and I feel just as safe in it as in my BP (Which I always wore to ride).  My position has improved no end since wearing it. I've not fallen off in mine yet, but I know someone who has and she said it worked brilliantly.
