SaferMoto.com demos innovative airbag safety gear at Long Beach International Motorcycle Show Sparks, NV, December 1, 2011 Fun and safety on a motorcycle shouldn’t be mutually exclusive, according to Alan Cunningham, CEO of SaferMoto.com, distributor of an innovative line of lightweight inflatable vests and jackets using protective airbag technology. Cunningham believes protective gear should be lightweight, unobtrusive and highly effective, the qualities that motorcycle enthusiasts and dealers from throughout the west will be able to see for themselves as Cunningham demonstrates SaferMoto.com’s products in booth 439 at the International Motorcycle Show, Friday through Sunday, December 9-11, at the Long Beach Convention Center 300 E. Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach. “SaferMoto.com’s products offer a level of protection that can’t be matched by conventional safety gear and armor,” said Cunningham. Similar to an airbag, SaferMoto.com vests and jackets deploy in less than a quarter of a second. A tether cord connects the vest or jacket to the motorcycle, and inflation from a compact replaceable CO2 cartridge is triggered instantly when the rider falls. Airbag-equipped apparel now is used in more than 30 countries worldwide and has been standard equipment for law enforcement departments including the Tokyo Police. Riders who’ve experienced an accident wearing a SaferMoto.com vest or jacket rave about the level of protection offered by the products. Professional motorcycle racer Justin Mastalka, 39, of Fernley, Nevada, was quoted in a 2011 USA Today article as saying, “Not only did it deploy like it was supposed to, but my helmet never touched the asphalt.” He credits the SaferMoto.com airbag with preventing him from suffering his eleventh concussion in a recent accident. SaferMoto.com airbag-equipped jackets and vests for all ages are available online and at select west coast motorcycle events and retailers including Big Valley Honda in Reno and Honda Suzuki of Salt Lake. SaferMoto.com will hold hourly demonstrations of its inflatable vests and jackets in action in booth 439 at the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show. Show hours are 4 to 9 p.m., Friday, December 9; 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, December 10 and 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, December 11.
