I've only gone and bought a set of PoweriZers.

Delievery in a few days.

Want to see vids of me break every bone in my body exclusively for OcUK?

It was on the Jonathan Ross show over Christmas and on an ad for Zurich I think. Apparently you can run 20mph and effortlessly jump 6ft in the air.

It'll be a while before I dare to attempt a flip and the powerizers aren't going anywhere near my baby :p

Found this on youtube, give me a few weeks:

Bare in mind there are different versions depending on how much you weigh. The ones I've got are rated between 10.5 ands 12 stone.

I so want some

Wrist protectors and your ankles are strapped into the Powerizers, so I'm more expecting possible dislocated sholders/knees.

Bought the Pads and Helmet today, they PoweriZers have been shipped and should be here tomorrow \o/

Well, that was good fun. Unfortunetly, it's not half as easy as it look on the promo videos. The first three steps were followed by me falling flat on my face, although with the pads I have no injuries so far.

I have a vid, but it's being a pain so here's some photos:

First few steps:

A very quick jog:

A few too many steps:

It's very difficult to get up once you've gone over without help.

More pics tomorrow.

The word SPLAT comes in to mind on the last image :D Have you tried jumping atall ? do they hold your weight alright?

When I try jump even a little bit you can feel there's a lot of potential there, it just a bit too much for me at the mo and I can't control it. They hold my weight fine, there's not much give in the springs when your walking.

See its fine when you aren't on concrete, but when your outside you'll be begging for pads and a helmet :D

So now we have a competition on who can flip first eh?

You're on!

Do I have to land it? I've been outside, still haven't fallen over!

Depends, if you break any bone really dramatically, like blood everywhere, as long as you film it (whilst the emergency services deal with you), you don't need to land perfectly.
