PROTECTION LIMITATIONS
General Use Limitations:
The impact protectors attached to the Stryker Rig are considered to be items of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) because they are designed
and manufactured to provide limited protection against the risk of impact with the ground or road surface, in the event of a fall from a motorcycle,
by means of limiting the impact force transmitted. The performance requirements of the Standard EN 1621-1:1997, which the elbow and shoulder
impact protectors have been tested to, and EN 1621-2:2003, which the back protector has been tested to, have been chosen as a practical
compromise between protection, comfort, and ergonomic requirements.
Impact protectors tested according to Standard EN 1621-1:1997 are designed to provide some limited protection in the event of a motorcycle
accident against impacts with road surfaces, they may also slightly reduce the severity of injuries that occur when the motorcyclist contacts other
objects. The force levels used in the tests do not compare directly to the forces motorcyclists are exposed to in real-world accidents, therefore,
products that meet the requirements of the EN 1621-1:1997 Standard may only reduce the severity of some minor injuries.
The test methods outlined by the Standard EN 1621-2:2003 for back protectors are designed to provide information on protection in the event of
impacts against edges such as curbstones. The force levels used in the tests do not compare directly to the forces motorcyclists are exposed to in

SAFETy WARNINGS
real-world accidents, but according to the Standard EN 1621-2:2003, products that meet the requirements of the EN 1621-2:2003 Standard can
reduce the severity of some minor injuries such as bruises and strains. Note: the back protector component of the Stryker Rig only offers the limited
protection described above when it is attached to the Stryker Rig and when the Stryker Rig is being worn.
from the Stryker Rig NO back protection of any kind is offered by the Stryker Rig or any of the attached impact protectors!
The Stryker Rig, along with the impact protectors and back protector attached to it, is designed to be lightweight so as to limit restriction, permit
freedom of movement and permit effective handling of motorcycle controls. Neither the Stryker Rig nor the impact protectors or back protector
attached to it can prevent traumas to any part of the body caused by axial forces. Neither the Stryker Rig nor the impact protectors or back protector
attached to it prevent traumas caused by high-energy impacts, severe forces of bending, twisting, torsion, or traumas caused by extreme movements,
and they cannot prevent crushing as the result of striking an object. No impact protector or back protector or any amount of impact protection can
prevent spinal injuries or can offer complete protection against all injuries, the principle is to create a product that may help to reduce the risk of
injury to the area protected (these areas are described by Diagram 4A along with Chart 4B and the diagram that accompanies it).
The additional chest plate on the front panel of the Stryker Rig, which partially covers the sternum, is designed to provide very limited protection
against lofted small stones and debris and to reduce the force of only the most minimal impacts from these objects. Other plastic pieces and
elements on the Stryker Rig, other than the impact protectors, the back protector, and chest plate, themselves, are design elements only, and do
not offer any protection. Only the impact protectors and the back protector themselves have been certified. Although the chest plate has been
tested to assure compliance with Directive 89/686/EEC, in accordance with the impact test requirements of technical Standard: EN 14021:2003,
Section 4.7, as an available test method, it has not undergone any additional certification. At this time, no Standard is approved for testing of chest
protectors for on-road motorcycling use. The chest plate of the Stryker Rig does not prevent traumas caused by high-energy impacts, severe forces of
bending, twisting, torsion, or traumas by extreme movements, and it cannot prevent crushing as the result of striking an object. No amount of impact
protection, can prevent injuries or can offer complete protection against all injuries, the principle is to create a product that may help to reduce the
risk of injury to the area protected.
Misuse that will degrade Stryker Rig and the attached impact and back protector's performance:
The Stryker Rig and the attached impact protectors and back protector must be worn to provide any protection. Improper use of the Stryker Rig and
the attached impact protectors and back protector can seriously compromise effectiveness and reduce performance. In order for the impact protectors
and back protector, attached to the Stryker Rig, to retain their original protective capabilities only use the Stryker Rig and the attached impact
protectors and back protector for the purposes described in the "Use Restrictions and Limitations" section of this user manual. Never tamper with
any part of the Stryker Rig or the impact protectors and back protector attached to it. Never bend or twist or the impact protectors and back protector
attached to the Stryker Rig excessively, as this constitutes improper use and may cause the loss of protective properties and/or breakage. Do not paint
any part of the Stryker Rig or the impact protectors and back protector attached to it or use colorants of any nature.
Note: When the back protector is removed
