    Hmmm, yes, certainly interesting...

    Shame there's not more info really - I'd like to know how it fires, how it's triggered, and what PSI the air actually gets to.

    I have to say I wouldn't like to cycle around in a thick scarf any more than I'd like to cycle around in a helmet.

    Interesting, not sure his back would be in very good shape after that though.

    I'd rather have a go on this one

    Pretty amazing but in reality of little use. It'd make learning clip less an expensive! :lol:
