After my fall I just stood up and continued riding like nothing happened. Thank you Hit Air for this great airbag. There would be definitely less accidents if more riders use this vest in show jumping. During my fall I thought: And before I hit the ground the full airbag inflated around me — great! Not even the typical aches and pains appeared the next day.
After a serious riding accident one year ago, including broken lumbar vertebra, surgery and three months of no riding, I was always a bit scared of another fall. But now I am completely relaxed. This vest was the best purchase! I just wanted to say thank you for this great safety vest.
It saved me from many injuries when I fell off my horse. I just had a broken shoulder. I can recommend this great product to everybody and I will never jump with my horse again without it. To me it was as if I landed on an air mattress. The price was a bit high, but the safety of our show jumping kids is important to us. Two weeks later there was a competition at our equestrian club. Lisa wanted to sign up for an A-level show jumping competition with her six year old horse for the first time. Many people and even the judges of the competition asked some question about the new riding vest of our daughter and everyone wanted to see how it works.
Well, this is not so easy to show… Who wants to fall off horse on purpose? So, we never spent money for a better product on an exhibition! A collided with a huge branch while riding full speed on a eventing competition, level L. I fell off the horse and I suffered a serious concussion and a cerebral hemorrhage. Because of the crash I still have some problems with my arm muscles, but the doctors said, that everything will be just like it was before. Underneath the airbag vest I was wearing a classic spine protection.
This is the only thing, that I would improve: This vest definitely saved my life! And now I can just start riding again without being scared. My name is Stefanie and I contract amyosthenia for four years. This is why I practice riding as a sport for disabled people. I fell of my mare two times already and both times fractures of my spine were included.
Thank God, nothing is damaged permanently. After my second fall I remembered a report about airbag vests. Every other safety vest I tested before, was not suitable for me.
I contacted Hit Air to test their product. At first, the weight of the vest was a bit uncomfortable, but after a while this airbag vest belongs to my safety package just as my helmet and my safety stirrups. I am also wearing my vest in competitions and I experience a great acceptance and curiosity by the judges. I hope that this article helps in making a decision for the Hit Air airbag vest. Have fun and always a good ride! My wife owns a Hit Air vest for a long time and last year I gave it to myself as a Christmas present. Although I was sceptic at first. So now, after I made use of my vest, I can — no, I have to — recommend it to every other rider.

What I like about it in special is, that I can wear a safety vest without the feeling of being a Michelin mascot. The price was a bit high, but the safety of our show jumping kids is important to us. Looking at the vest, I like its simple and shapely design. Log in with Facebook.
Thank you so much for the cartridges! I started riding in and was a complete beginner. Once while I was show jumping, my coccyx got seriously bruised, even though I was wearing a classic safety vest. And three weeks later I suffered a fracture of my hand.
After my mandatory break and the regeneration of my hand I felt, that I was afraid, that something like that could happen again. I can report, that I had to make use of my vest two times unfortunately. One time I left the back of my horse involuntarily after the last obstacle in a training session. Probably I was so relieved that everything went well, that I lost my concentration. Two weeks later my horse was so happy to go for a ride outside, that I left his back once again — soft landing!
The vest activated itself in proper form for both times. I am recognizing, that my fear of another fall is shrinking and that I can sit more relaxed in the saddle. I am also a bit more confident when my horse and me are arguing and it realized that as well! Thank you so much for the quick shipment of my new motorcycle jacket. I like it very much and so I would like to give you a feedback. After a friend of mine had a serious accident with his motorbike he will never ride a motorbike again because of his injuries.
My need for more safety on the bike rises because of that. So I did some research and found your jackets for bikers. I was a bit sceptic at first, but the whole airbag system convinced me.
I tried the jacket by activating it manually. The airbag inflated in less than one second and I am convinced that this system will help me very much in an accident, especially in city traffic.

Edit Cast Cast overview: Elmer Lane Guy Kibbee Rutherford 'Doc' Waddington Florence Rice Betty Harrison Vinton Hayworth Bill Hilton Harlan Briggs Operate the hovercraft in an enclosed area, such as a classroom or fenced-in area outside, so that it does not get out of control.
If using an electric leaf blower, be careful maneuvering around and pay attention to the length of the cord. Wear closed-toe shoes to prevent injuries to your feet. Wear ear protection if you are operating the leaf blower for long periods of time. Wear eye protection to avoid dust or other small particles that might get blown into your eyes by the forced air. Don't jump off of the hovercraft while it's moving. If using an electric leaf blower, have an adult remain near the wall outlet. If the hovercraft moves too fast, have the adult pull the power plug out of the wall to stop the hovercraft.
Do this only in emergencies, since the passenger might fly off when the hovercraft suddenly stops. Do not operate the hovercraft over water or on rough surfaces. Aerospace Engineer Humans have always longed to fly and to make other things fly, both through the air and into outer space—aerospace engineers are the people that make those dreams come true. They design, build, and test vehicles like airplanes, helicopters, balloons, rockets, missiles, satellites, and spacecraft.
Mechanical Engineer Mechanical engineers are part of your everyday life, designing the spoon you used to eat your breakfast, your breakfast's packaging, the flip-top cap on your toothpaste tube, the zipper on your jacket, the car, bike, or bus you took to school, the chair you sat in, the door handle you grasped and the hinges it opened on, and the ballpoint pen you used to take your test.
Virtually every object that you see around you has passed through the hands of a mechanical engineer. Consequently, their skills are in demand to design millions of different products in almost every type of industry. Variations The basic hovercraft you built can be modified to provide more control, and to test other designs. Try different types of materials for the skirt. Try making the air cushion bigger or smaller by changing the size of the skirt.
Try changing the size, position or number of vent holes.
Riding on Air is a American film directed by Edward Sedgwick. The film is also known as All Is Confusion in the United Kingdom. Smugglers are using a device for controlling airplanes in flight, and newspaper reporters from Chicago are vying for the story. Reporter Elmer Lane is out to.
Add braking and steering systems. Add a means of providing forward thrust using a second leaf blower, for example. Try different-sized bases for carrying larger loads. Try to measure the air pressure under the hovercraft. Compare the hovercraft's performance over different surfaces.
