(WARNING: Video contains explicit language) When your mom warns you to “watch out for idiots” it’s smart to pay attention. Because, as one Kent motorcyclist found out, the “idiot” might end up being your mom. Jake Schoeppach posted a Youtube video of him being rear-ended by his mother while driving his new Harley Davidson. The video comes from a GoPro on Schoeppach’s motorcycle helmet. Schoeppach’s mom bids him farewell in a parking lot and tells him, “Drive safe, watch out for idiots.” The accident occurs about 3:27 in the video. Some profane language ensues. Schoeppach told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson on Tuesday that he and his mom were going to the same place but that he didn’t realize she was following him. Though Schoeppach landed on his feet, he said he was caught off guard, especially since this was his first ever crash. He was also a bit upset that it involved his 2016 Harley that had only 2,800 miles on it. He’s not sure how much damage the accident caused.

“I’m getting blasted all over the place about how I talked to my mom, but have you ever been rear-ended by your mom? How would you react?” “I had so much adrenaline. I was going to lay into whoever it was and then I realized it was my mom so I just dropped a couple f-bombs.” Dori noted that mom drops a few f-bombs, too. “That’s who I learned it from,” Schoeppach said. “I love my mom, you know. What you didn’t see was me calming her down and giving her a hug and telling her I love her.” Listen below to hear what else happened after the video.

The University of Washington football team will be one of the first to try out Vicis’ innovative new helmet, The Seattle Times reported.

Vicis, founded in Seattle two years ago, has developed a helmet that provides more protection against skull fracture, traumatic brain injury, and concussion than the traditional helmet used by athletes today, according to the company. 125 motorbikes for sale aylesburyThe helmet differentiates from other available options because of a unique outer shell material that is designed to mitigate the forces thought to cause concussions on the football field and in other contact sports.motorcycle shops in tewkesbury The 30-person startup actually spun out of the UW in 2014 and one of its co-founders, CTO Per Reinhall, is the chairman of the UW Mechanical Engineering Department.motorcycle repair utica ny Now Vicis is ready for teams to wear its ZERO1 helmet, which retails at $1,500 each. motorcycle parts herndon va

A Vicis spokesperson confirmed with GeekWire that the UW will test the helmets this season, but didn’t provide details on the other teams using the helmet. The company previously told GeekWire that around 25 NFL and 30 NCAA teams have expressed interest in testing the helmet for the 2016 season. UW head coach Chris Petersen told the Seattle Times that he believes Vicis’ product will be “the safest helmet on the market.” Here’s a new video that shows how Vicis’ helmet can be calibrated to custom-fit players depending on their head shape: Vicis CEO Dave Marver spoke at the inaugural GeekWire Sports Tech Summit in Seattle last week. “We were struck by the fact that there had been so little innovation in the helmet space,” Marver said, recalling the early days of Vicis. “Today’s players are using helmets that resemble those worn in the 1970s. We were also surprised that so few startups were attacking the problem. We thought we could make a difference.”

Marver, who founded Vicis with Reinhall and Chief Medical Officer Samuel Browd — a director for the Seattle Children’s Hospital Sports Concussion Program — said that his company plans to develop helmets for other sports like hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and others. “Our objective is to build an enduring company in Seattle that offers hundreds if not thousands of really cool, fulfilling sports technology jobs,” he said. “We want to make a difference in the lives of young athletes who want to participate in contact sports.” Vicis has raised nearly $20 million since 2014, most recently reeling in $6 million this past May. More than 100 investors participated in its Series A round, including angels, neurological and spine surgeons, NFL players, and business leaders from across the country. Investors range from people like Roger Staubach, the 1963 Heisman Trophy winner and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback who led his team to two Super Bowl wins; to folks like Robert Nelsen, a biotech industry veteran and co-founder of Arch Venture Partners;

and Bruce Montgomery, a veteran of the Seattle biotech scene. Vicis, a finalist for the 2016 GeekWire Awards in the Hardware/Gadget of the Year category, also has an impressive list of folks on its coalition, including newly-added people like NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, and Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner. Others on the coalition include all-time great NFL running back Tony Dorsett and Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who also spoke at the Sports Tech Summit last week.
