Aha - yet again I find myself agreeing entirely with BEagle.

This is CYA at its worst.

I wear a parachute, helmet gloves and a flight suit when I fly because I feel that they will enhance my personal safety. (Actually not too sure about the parachute, seems a bit complicated!)

On the ground I remain as alert as possible.

I do not honestly believe that a reflective jacket is going to help one wee bit, as I alluded to earlier, if the moron behind the wheel of an airside vehicle can not be trusted to see me sans-jacket, then best I make sure I see him and take avoiding action.


If he can't see me without a jacket then how do we know that he will see me with a jacket?

Its all b@llocks.
