Helite Crash Testimony from a GS rider in Denver, CO!

Posted by Nichole on 12th Aug 2015

"This past Friday, August 7th, 2015 while riding down main street in Kelowna, BC and elderly woman barreled past a stop sign and T-Boned me, full on. The right side of my bike's engine cylinder and my knee took the [initial] impact.

Instantly after hearing the crunch, the bike flipped over to the left, smacked me on my back, and I cartwheeled across three lanes...hit and then flipped over the curb, and smacked into a fire hydrant.

Thanks to your product, I never lost consciousness.

Your HELITE Airnest Vest at the very least saved me from serious injury, quite possibly my life.

For good measure I was collared, placed on a backboard and taken and taken to trauma at the local hospital as they treated it as a "fractured neck" on the call.

Nobody could believe it when they came on scene looking at the SUV and my bike (the old lady driver had kept driving on a bit, actually pushing my now broken bike in front of the car).

Folks, again, because of the Helite Airnest vest, my helmet literally doesn't have a scratch on it - when I was slammed onto my back on the asphalt immediately after impact, the vest had deployed and the back of my helmet bounced off the collar.

  • The ER Trauma Doctor credits the vest with saving me from severe whiplash, potentially a snapped neck, or even sever concussion or TBI.
  • The ER Trauma Nurse said because of the Helite Airnest vest and the ForceShield Body Armour I was wearing (right knee pad), I instead would have been in emergency surgery for a shattered leg and all other potential items listed above that came from the ER doctor.

Thank you HELITE for such an incredible product. It should be required by every rider. "Loud pipes" don't save lives...your product does"

Cheers,
