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.
