I won’t ride without it.
Mine deployed once, when parked on the shoulder of the road and another rider pulled up and toppled over onto me. I hit the pavement, my helmet bounced off the tarmac, and while I was on the ground wondering what had just happened, I realized that I was snug as a bug inside my inflated Turtle. It self-deflated within a minute or so. Recharging involves nothing more than swapping out a $25 CO2 cartridge — quick and easy peasy.
