Some years back (I’m going to guess about 7 ?) Helite came to a CWAM (Coventry and Warkwickshire Advanced Motorcyclists) social evening and gave a presentation on their airvests. Shortly after, a friend of ours (Lee Vigor) was involved in an accident where the airvest saved his life. That was the final push for us, and we went out and bought a vest each … myself one of the original designs, and Tess one of the newly-out Turtle 1’s Over the many miles since, they’ve served us well and always been worn, albeit starting to look a little tired from the many, many hours and weathers they’ve had to endure. Two weeks ago on 4th April, the worst thing happened. On a roundabout in South Wales a car driver decided he wanted to exit the roundabout. Through Tess, and her Tiger 800. He hit her side on, crushing her leg between car and bike, and jettisoning her from the bike. All she saw was sky, floor, sky, floor, before coming to a sudden stop and landing lengthwise onto the kerb at the side of the road. It’s here – half on and half off the kerb – where she came to a stop. Cue 4 Police cars, a Police motorbike, Paramedic car, Ambulance, and 2 hours at the side of the road trying to stabilise her before transport to A&E. Two weeks on, she’s still in hospital (and likely to be there some time) following 4 operations trying to save the leg – things are looking a bit more positive in that way, but the heavy damage to her leg is going to take some time to heal, and may never be the same … she has a long journey ahead of her.

However.
At point of departure from the bike, the Turtle did its thing and deployed. As you can see from the photo below, there’s some scuffing where she’s bounced along the ground, but the main thing to note is the long scuff mark pretty much parallel with (and crossing) her spine.
We firmly, utterly believe that the Helite Turtle airvest saved her, if not from severe spinal damage, then from something much, much worse. As it was, all she’s got on her upper torso (apart from bruising) is 1 cracked vertebrae and 1 cracked rib. Absolutely nothing compared to what could have happened.
So yeah … I guess I’m writing to say, on behalf of myself and Tess … thank you. Not the nicest way to test your product for you, but it bl**dy worked !! Thank you. Because of your product, my wife is still with me.

When, or if, Tess is capable (physically or mentally) of being able to ride again, you can guarantee the first item purchased will be a Helite airvest. Plus, it’s probably time for me to upgrade to a newer model too !

It was good to catch you at the bike show today. As promised I have attached some photos & video from my bike crash which took place near Pitlochry, at the end of June 2019.

As you can see the accident was a back wheel skid which developed into a high side at roughly 50mph. I did a number of flips and went through a fence and hit a tree. The Air Ambulance service was called and had to correct my leg on scene.

I broke the knuckle clean off my femur and had surgery to put in a permanent plate and 9 screws.

Now what I am seriously impressed by, is that I landed on my back, hitting my head (destroying a carbon fibre helmet) and I didn’t have a single upper body bruise. No neck strain, just nothing. To be honest I remember the accident very clearly and felt no upper body pain when hitting the ground. Sadly I felt the legs.  Having had dirt bike accidents, with full Alpinestars armour the difference is significant.

I have owned the air vest for roughly 5 years, and have toured all of Spain and Portugal. Worn it everyday as a commuter in the fine Scottish weather and still it performed perfectly. 

A couple of my friends who were on scene have since invested in your adventure/touring jackets. Nothing like seeing it to believe it eh.

Hopefully some of this is useable for you guys and you can clean up the video to be a bit clearer. You have made a great product and I hear you are going to be doing cordless vests/ jackets which I can’t wait to see.

On a sunny Thursday afternoon travelling home from work on the busy M6 motorway I was involved in a motorcycle accident which involved four vehicles.

I cannot remember the incident but believe I was hit from behind by a van in lane 3 at approximately 50 mph. I then hit the windscreen and somehow ended up landing in between the crash barriers on the motorway.

My Helite airbag worked brilliantly and saved me from sustaining any serious injuries. The doctors and medical staff could not believe how I was not more seriously injured & one doctor said I was the luckiest motorcyclist he had ever seen.

I did suffer a broken collarbone, arm and fingers but I was released from hospital on the same day and I put this down to how well my Helite airbag worked.

I would recommend Helite airbag products to anyone who rides and firmly believe it saved my life that day.

Remember you can’t put a price on your life.
