Using parts cannibalized from decommissioned jet-fighter aircraft, SMES uses both passive (activated by impact etc.) and rider-activated triggers to fire ejection rockets mounted under the motorcycle seat. The rider is propelled to a minimum of 1,500' altitude, where a Joint Precision Airdrop parachute is opened. The rider then steers his SMES to a safe landing zone up to 4,000 feet from the point of impact (better distances are possible depending on prevailing winds).
Options for the SMES under consideration include launch-activated GoPro cameras to document the accident and ejection, standard FAA-approved lighting in case the ejection occurs at night, and beverage holders with chemically-cooled beers to assist the ejectee in avoiding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the rigors of a high-speed, high-altitude ejection.
I'm accepting capital funding and stock ownership proposals if anyone is interested in getting in on the "ground floor" of this exciting technology.
Ok Maverick, good luck with that. I'm investing my money in Iceman's anti-G underpants idea. Even Goose's widow is in...
