Definitely getting them.
As a drunk, I have been waiting for something like this for years..
I can now fall over in safety when I stagger home from the pub!
Cheers.

They laughed at the pet rock too. Dahl (idea man) made Northwards of 12 million (back in the seventies).

I bought one and it really works.
I was at the bar at Spanish springs one night and I fell backwards.
It inflated so fast, it pop me right back up to the bar so I could keep drinking.

Currently dealing with severe imbalance along with other issues. While I laugh at the idea, it might have saved me from major head trauma when I passed out. Maybe it actually has legitimate applications for those of us with fall risks. Even if I decide to get one, I'll still think it is funny. Yes, I like slapstick, even if I am the one getting slapped.

Something similar could be good for bike riders as it's awfully risky riding one around here.
