If you thought that donning a leather motorcycle jacket and maybe some leather chaps and a helmet were all the protection you would ever need while cruising the highways on your motorcycle, think again…
A Canadian inventor has been granted a patent, by the UK, for an Electromagnetically shielded motorcycle seat. Apparently, tests have shown that motorcycles generate massive amounts of EMF (ElectroMagnetic Field) and ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) radiation, which can penetrate through the motorcycles seat and into the riders groin and torso. Some studies have indicated that extensive, long-term exposure to these types of radiation may be linked to numerous health problems including cancer.
The inventor claims that steel or even lead are not sufficient to shield riders from this hazardous exposure, but the highly processed materials in his patented design can.
