Easy-peasy. Dom Jolly - Trigger happy TV. That scene was funny. Shame it happens so often in real life.
Go back to the old phones I say. So heavy it was actually less effort to go to a call box rather than carry one!
Seeing as you ride a bike you know this but, I'll just elaborate a bit for those who don't.
Falling off at 60 mph+
If you fall off and hit something: Ouch. If you hit a tree head on it won't matter if you have a helmet on your head or a piece of cheese. Not even a paticulary fine Stilton will help. Sliding into other vehicles hurts too. However you are usually going a bit slower at the cost of some skin (cow or your own!).
If you fall off and don't hit something: GP and WSB rider regulary come off at 100 mph plus, get up and walk away. Armour can protect you from the impacts as you flail about and leather's abrasion resistance is excellent.
Make it law to wear the vest? Well they did try leg protectors mandatory in Europe but we be that one as well as the 100bhp limit. Phew.
I saw it at the IMAX in the Science Museum in London. "Awesome" is not the word.
The is a scene where the astronautes are having Christmas dinner. One of them is throwing M&Ms to the others. The chocs sail across and are caught in the mouth. Of course, there is someone working the camera too and it would be rude exclude them from the choccy treat! An M&M then comes sailing towards the camera (and you). I swear I saw a dozen people in the audience try to catch it in their mouths.
I rather used to enjoy playing Spy vs Spy on my old C64.
It was great fun setting up amusing traps for the other guy to stumble into. The gun pointed at the door with a piece of string attatched to the knob and trigger was my favourite.
Anyone know where you could find it this these days? I own it on cassette (eek!) so of course it's all perfectly legal for me to download the image if I can find it.

Well, I think this sounds a lot nicer than that Painstation idea we saw a few weeks ago!
But seriously doesn't almost everyone find games relaxing? No matter how heated things get in Unreal (me being rubbish and killed a lot!) I always feel much better when I'm done.
You use it on exhaust system to make the pipe work. It goes a lovely blue when you get it really hot.
You should see the spannies (expansion chambers) on a GP 2 stroke. Work of art and they can be made so thin they weigh about the same as a pack of cigarettes.
It doesn't get used for frames though, you need a really rigid platform for the suspension and extrudued aluminium alloys are best.

And that asumes that the life is based upon chemical reactions.
Does it have to be? Probably, but I wouldn't discount something energy based. Not that we would probably even recognise it as living.
OK, OK waaay to much sci-fi.
Alistair Reynold's "Diamond Dogs/Turquoise Days" has similar suits used by the (spacefaring) Ultras.
One guy gets his arm damaged and the suit decides the best way to save him is to lop the whole thing off.
In that case if, theoreticaly, no Brits where killed in 911 would it be OK if we didn't get involved in The War Agains Terror?

All those "penguin crossing the road" jokes.

Hey your sig? Carnival of Monsters is it? Definitly a John Pertwee line!
That was Michael Ryan I think.

Not it's not tis: Hardly Passable Quality
It is the same with any emerging tech that has the potential to change the world (which I think we must acknowledge that nanotech would).
The greater the potential benefits of a technology the bigger the potential disaster and misuse.
It has always been this way. Fission, fusion (yeah one day!), biotech and now nanotech.
Well, if you follow the poster that is reckons he's going to move to canada your numbness may become a permanent condition.

Not to nit pick but the bikes were actually only speed restricted. If you call 186 mph restricted.
Of course that can be fixed... If you really need to do 197.
