eject
a bicycle with an ejectable seat. | |
if you cant ride with no hands this wont help you because youll have the hold the seat with both hands. anyway when riding your bike hold on tight with both hands to your seat and push a button under the seat the seat will eject 160ft into the air were it will then deploy 4 paracheuts for an even, safe
landing.

I know it's going to hurt, but I'd have to try this at least once so I could say I had. |
|
| |
There have actually been times when this would have been advisable, even though I believe ejection is very tough on a pilot. |
|
| |
I don't think sixty feet would be enough though, and the weight of the ejection mechanism might ruin the lightweight performance of my mountain bike. |
|
| |
perhaps you could have an oversized helment with a 5th parachuet ready to deploy by pushing a button on the helmet |
|
| |
This actually sounds quite brilliant... |

I'm not sure that strapping an explosive charge to the underside of a bicycle seat would do much to improve one's chances of starting a family. Although I do know several people who could do with a rocket up their backsides. |

egbert -- I thought riding a bike in the first place was a form of male contraception? |

My sister barrowed a bike with no brakes one time and didnt have a place to bail so hit a curb and went head over heels, halarious for the little brother but scary for her. had she had the eject she would have floated to safty.
I see many safety aplications for this for mountain bikers.+ |

Minimum safe altitude for parachute deployment is a lot higher than 80 feet. The mechanism to propel a rider sufficient distance into the air is going to wedge the seat pretty tightly up the ejectee's ass. |

500 feet is what they tell the military boys...thats supposed to be the limit you can't reliably go below, although if you read the stories on the link..... |
