I was travelling approx 45mph on a dual carriageway when a van pulled in front of me then breaked suddenly. I had to break hard causing the bike to fishtail.

The bike went down with me under it for approx 10yds then the bike & I separated still sliding along the road. The Airvest deployed as soon as I went down. My injuries included broken bones in left arm, operation needed on other arm, lots of bruising & swelling all down my right side.

While in A&E the consultant said to another doctor that had I not been wearing the vest they would be looking at a lot more serious injuries. The vest protected everything it was supposed to and I believe it did save my life.

I would never go out without it and highly recommend them to others.
