Would you really want to be strapped to that as it goes down the road? Laughing

Chair needs to be a lot lower down so you can sit upright more. Maybe some cruiser style handlebars for ultimate comfort.

Cup holder, huge windshield, leg shield (c90 stylee) and maybe cruise control.

No. But it is a good idea to see someone else do it. In a (minor) accident, strapped in, they would just topple, remaining upright.

Obviously in a major accident it would be a nightmare and under such circumstances one would have to incorporate an eject mechanism and a large button into the dash. One that goes about 50 meters into the air so you could make a safe landing away from the accident when the shoot opens.

Obviously there would be considerations; say you were on a bridge or viaduct? You would want to consider the wind speed and if it was possible to land somewhere safe or dry.

And come to think of it under a bridge may also be a problem. But these are minor considerations next to the idea which is sound.

This schmuck is not worthy of the degree of windom quantified in your post, for the purposes of my investigation I would like to know on who's authority you have made this outrageous claim?
Until then I'm sentencing you to FAIL.





























































Silly Urchin.
