Let's first see if it actually  works.
Including not randomly activating just because riders go over a speedbump.

Many owe CyclistAbi an apology, first Gee gets away with it now this.

A friendly pat at the back, and it's activated.

Except it’s none of the products they’ve shared and actually what others have brought up should be done that was ridiculed by one.

Like what was said before that it’s better to do it in the jersey material instead of an outer product but someone didn’t like that idea and thought it was dumb.


But at least progress in the right direction!

Will it be used for amazing aerodynamics for the ITT. LOL Would Rem co. lose his advantage . I know it's CyclistAbi's dream but could be shenanigans too.

I really hope we'll get to something like this in France this season:

Hardly new or unproven. Every back country skier either has one...or should. Anyone on an FIS level speed discipline has had them for years and yes, they work.
It does nothing for the shoulder or injuries to the handlebars. If some helmet modifications are made to protect from backwards crash momentum it will be a life saver. Not a career saver, though. Cyclists hit their ribs, face, hands and almost everything that contributes to navigation. Saving lives is a good thing, though.
Next step: make ranking UCI officials and Race promoters ride Ebikes at race speeds through urban street furniture in a pack with local Cat 4 riders. That might clear up the major issue for pointless injuries.
Then make packs smaller.

Do skiers ever compete wearing only one thin layer of clothing? In temperatures where anything more would make it too hot and cumbersome?

After a crash, how would they be unactivated?

Not much layering since their effort going downhill is seldom more than 3 minutes. Wind chill at 60mph is a bigger consideration. That gets below zero quickly.
The bags have valves for deflation. Back country bags are bigger volume to provide more air space in an avalanche burial. GP moto riders may wear a bag but they are layered in armor that won't flex much.
