Life Jackets

[gn7]

Which brings up an interesting question....why are Lifelines not USCG approved? I'd much rather have my Lifeline on than one of those suspender type ones.

Why aren't 5 point Simpson harnesses approved for street. Been busted for that one too.
Why weren't the first Simpson baby car seat approved before they licensed the name to Graco and Gavin? Yep, bust for that one as well, at the same time, 30 years ago.


Because Simpson and Lifeline don't sell enough product to justify the expense approval bullshit, and it would only add to there product liability insurance, Don't know a case where a racer sued Lifeline, and those that tried suing Simpson lost. In fact in one case where Simpson was sued, the plaintiff was court ordered to pick up Simpson attorney fees, as well as the court costs.

If you die wearing a Lifeline when not racing, you'll play hell making a case.

Can you blame them for not going along with the extortion?
