Instead of Velcro could if not be an electro magnet system with some sort of tilt sensor to "deadman" it? Just my 2p

Talen! You sir do life right!

No SPD clips, the weight of the foot on peg with sticky rubber should be enough and then a piece on the side to stop foot from coming out sideways. No more attaching, just ways of supporting and using body weight to prevent movement, until required!

Tilt swithches could'nt work, have you seen how far he "tilts" it over, he's looking at Marquez too closely
SPD's I guess would not get through scrutineering/legislation/rules.
Having looked at the bikes during the winter SIMPLICITY is an absolute requirement, the current system he uses, "I" think, just needs refining.

GWS mate

GWS Talan. Sounds like an impressive stack.

How about a switch or pressure sensor in the grips for the electro magnet idea. As soon as both hands release the bars the electro magnet releases. Could even do it as a reed switch and a metallic layer in the gloves. When the gloves are too far away from the bars the magnet releases.
