Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Emergency room

    Made Jun 19, 2024, sent to the company Jun 25, 2024, published by CPSC Jul 10, 2024

    The product, in the report: Person air bag vest that tethers to the saddle. It is supposed to inflate like a car air bag and help prevent injuries. The tether, however, is not fitted to the size/weight of the rider or height of the horse. Which is problematic.

    I wear an equestrian safety air vest when competing in horse jumping. Retailers claim it to be the safest and best choice for protection from falls, with focus on internal injuries and spine. I wear the FreeJump Air vest that was sold to me as being the best safety option. From the website this “ vest is the first airbag vest made for horseback riding to have been approved by the NF S72-800-2022 standard”. They are all produced in Europe and sold by US retailers. Twice it has deployed at the wrong time in minor falls, but resulted in the first fall breaking my wrist in 8+ places resulting in surgery and rehab. The second fall resulted in a completed radial head fracture, multiple contusions, and head trauma. There is no warning as to peripheral injuries happening while using the vest. The propulsion of the airbag creates a situation that causes more injuries then prevents. Given these are rapidly being sold in the US, and all the companies are from Europe makes it impossible to seek any help from US attorneys - for which I have tried. Fighting over jurisdiction prior to hearing my cases was not financially feasible. I would have never worn the airbag vest and would just used a “normal” hard shell vest without all the push from US retailers to purchase.
