Yeah, Ive seen this not too long ago. Gave it some thought, especially after one guy came forward and says he wears it and other people cant tell its different from others.
Yeah it takes a great deal of pressure to pull the plug, no accidental pulls.

After all that, I'll still pass though

I was in WI a few years back when a sales guy came by to demonstrate one of those things; it sounded like a gun shot, everybody in the store briefly froze until they figured out what was gong on. Funny as H*** though.

Wouldn't you look good wearing this riding your Harley.

Don't laugh, last summer a crotch Rocket pilot here in Maryland, wearing one of those jackets, crashed into the rear of a parked car at about 40 mph and walked away without a scratch.

I saw a video demo of it on you tube. The guy layed down the bike and slid. It doesn't interest me. I'm sure it works.
