I've had the tethered Helite vest for several years...had it deploy twice on 0 mph drops...it does work great...just unclip to get out of it...takes a few minutes for it to self deflate...if you're on your back you are like a turtle...so uncliping is required to get up...Lol.
It takes 40lbs tension to deploy it...so it will "remind" you if you forget to unclip without the CO2 going off.
It is hard to remember to clip it...make part of your routine...trying to clip after your moving can be done but sometimes challenging.
I've wrestled the big brother to the RT since 2018 on my K1600GT...handles like a dream above 5 mph...only thing I've read about lane splitting is just remember if your mirrors fit, so does the rest of the bike.
You just need some lights and maybe a siren to be complete. ;-)
Also wondered, is blood spelled backwards like ambulance?
