You don't want to be strapped to things you ride on, you want off those objects when the rubber side goes up.

I've low-sided the motorcycle at somewhere around 100 MPH before, and it was no big deal because it went ahead of me, and I stopped well before it.

For anything moving at <19 MPH, you can pretty well just jump off if things get out of hand.

No getting around the massive aero drag, which isn't too terrible at low speeds.

Everything has had weeks to dry by now, so I'm going to put the EUC back together and see if anything looks like it might function.
