Those crazy Swedes! "Cars are so yesterday". pfffft.

Did anyone catch the inflatable vests the riders wore in the Olympic Steeplechase? I turned on coverage one day just as a rider fell. When I got up I wondered "How the heck can a guy that big stay on a horse?". Then they explained the safety vests they wear, tethered to the saddle, so that when the riders leaves the saddle, this huge vest inflates. Pretty wild.
